I don't mean to sound belittling, but have you picked up the phone and
called RSI's tech support? They have guys there who's entire job is to
figure out problems like this. While Debian isn't officially supported,
I have found that they will try to help as best as they are able.

This particular message has no relationship to IDL. There are many
programs that use the same kind of licensing structure that IDL does.
Because you find something about the license manager for another program
doesn't mean that you can apply the same solution to IDL. The above
message is about the SYBASE database, not IDL.

The license file that RSI sends you should just work if you installed
IDL into the default location under /usr/local. If you didn't install
there, the only thing you should ever need to change is the path to the
IDL executable directory in the DAEMON line. That's it.

Don't add VENDOR. At least my license files didn't come with a VENDOR
line. If yours did, leave that line alone. It's not the source of your
problem. Again, the tech guys at RSI should be able to figure this out
much quicker than what any of us can. You might want to give them a call.
