Hi David, 
	Prehaps the flexlm daemon is missing the dynamic libraries that it needs. 
See the FAQ's at http://line.sourceforge.net/faq.php for some more hints.

LINE development is also pretty much in deep-freeze; Michael Vines basically
said a year ago that he was done with LINE (who knows if he even still reads
this list). It turns out that others might take up the LINE codebase to get
the User-Mode-Linux port done; there's been a good bit of progress in the
past few months - check out http://umlwin32.sourceforge.net/ (hey Mike, if you
still read this list, that code I promised you way back when I finally gave
to someone :)

(ps Not that I want to discourage you from using LINE, but I'd guess it'd be
easier to get the Windows version lmgrd running - I think the flexlm daemons
are free, and the licenses can be served from either a Unix platform or a 
Windows box)
