I purchased NWN Enhanced Edition and installed in Ubuntu (19.04) using the provided install scripts. Everything installed fine.

Attempting to start the game does nothing. Running the start.sh in terminal returns "./nwmain-linux: No such file or directory"

Attempting to run the main game file executable at ~/game/bin/linux/nwmain-linux returns the same result

Attempting to open nwmain-linux in a text editor made the text editor crash (lol). When I did get it to open it was a garbled mess, so I'm guessing that file was corrupted or just didn't install right. I ran the installer a second time and it was the same after reinstallation.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a critical rebuild for the linux version? I'll try downloading the install script again and see if that helps I guess.

It looks like this is a 32-bit game, and you're trying to run it on a 64-bit distribution without 32-bit support.
Here is how you can add 32-bit binary support to your system:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libc6:i386
After that, you will probably get a different error when trying to run the game, about missing libraries.
I've not yet tried the Enhanced Edition of NWN, but here is what I install for the classic version:
sudo apt install libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386 libsdl1.2debian:i386

I didn't think of that, but that makes sense. Sure enough, now the error is that it's missing the package "libopenal.so.1" so I'm trying to track that down

sudo apt install libopenal1:i386
You can use this to find packages names:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libopenal.so.1&mode=exactfilename&suite=disco&arch=i386

Thanks for the help! I never knew about this, I'm always struggling to find packages.

By the way, there is another solution if you don't have a web browser at hand: apt-file.
$ apt-file -a i386 search libopenal.so.1
libopenal1: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1
libopenal1: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1.17.2
libopenal1: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1.19.1
