Okay, I solved the problem. It's not directly AMD64 related, but at
least replaying to myself will preserve the solution for posterity and
for Google.
The key lies in the message "Server node is down or not responding
(-96,482)" - and the method the Vendor daemon uses to verify lmgrd's
host is enabled. That method... is to try and log onto that host via
telnet. If "telnet $(hostname) 23" returns anything but a login prompt,
then assume lmgrd is missing, and fail.
So. the solution?
aptitude install telnetd, then edit /etc/hosts so $(hostname) resolves
to 127.0.0.1
Not an AMD64 problem, the problem is "Debian isn't bloody stupid enough
to run a login telnetd by default".
Hopefully, this might help someone else in future.

Hi all,
We've recently installed the Intel C Compiler 9 for EM64T onto a
Debian Sarge machine (stock 2.6.8 SMP EM64T kernel), and have been
having some major problems with Intel's version of the FlexLM license
manager.
16:52:51 (lmgrd) Starting vendor daemons ...
16:52:51 (INTEL) FLEXlm version 9.23
16:52:51 (INTEL) Server started on lic1 for:
16:52:51 (INTEL) I000000000000020000000000 (consisting
of: CCompL)
16:52:51 (lmgrd) Started INTEL (internet tcp_port 36211 pid 18718)
16:53:01 (INTEL) Vendor daemon can't talk to lmgrd (Server node is
down or not responding (-96,482))
16:53:01 (lmgrd) Vendor daemon died with status 37
16:53:01 (lmgrd) Since this is an unknown status, lmgrd will
16:53:01 (lmgrd) attempt to re-start the vendor daemon.
This repeats ad infinitum.
A google for "Vendor daemon died with status 37" points to a single
instance of the error, where the explanation was "FlexLM has issues
with recent 2.4 kernels" - which is not encouraging, given the 3.2Ghz
EM64T Xeon machine.
The version of the FlexLM manager is a modified intel variant of 9.23,
compiled for use with RHEL3 - all the libraries it's supposed to use
are at least of a same version as RHEL3
Copious use of "linux32" doesn't seem to help, either.
Does anyone else have experience of ICC or FlexLM on AMD64 Debian, and
can give some suggestions?
Thanks,
