Tom, Without any more information, it looks like you downloaded a binary install of BRL-CAD that is incompatible with your system. We provide multiple binaries for various platforms so you have to make sure that what you downloaded matches what you're actually running. Example, if you don't have an x86_64 system, don't download and try to run the x86_64 binary. Also, ia64 is not the same as x86_64. You probably want an x86 download or will be better off compiling from source.
If you're trying to compile from source, that's an entirely different set of instructions and I'd need to see a build log to have an idea of where/how it's failing. See [1] for more detailed installation instructions. Cheers!
