Yes sorry Richard et al for confusion.
I was using LC standard on a headless Linux machine, i.e. launching the IDE
but with -ui. It worked fine and ran my stack OK, until it tried to access a
database. At that point I listened to advice and made a minimal standalone
configured as a launcher - and built with the necessary libraries - and all
was right with the world.
At no point was I using LC Server (for whatever reason).
Thanks to everyone who helped me!

As for my post, it was a question in reply to Mark Waddingham's note
about how only standalones can be expected to use externals. That is,
at least as I read it.
Mark said nothing of the sort :)
LC Server had already been ruled out (for whatever reason) in an earlier part
of the thread so I was just advising on how to solve Ben's issue of wanting a
non-server engine that can be run in -ui mode which has dependencies.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
