I'm having essentially the same problem. Oddly enough, Mathematica
4.0 works but 4.2 does not. I haven't received my 5.0 media yet so I
can't try that. Running the text interface with -lmverbose gives:
Mathematica 4.2 for Linux

Talk to server '129.7.128.6' on port 16286 ...Cannot get "tcp" protocol entry.

I thought this might be a glibc issue, but a Red Hat 8.0 machine with
the errata glibc (2.3.2-4.80-6) doesn't have the problem. (The glibc
version on the RH9 machine is 2.3.2-27.9.) I've done the usual
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL trick to work around any potential thread problems
but as an strace of the program doesn't show it making any thread
calls I didn't expect that to work.
The license server shows nothing, and tcpdump shows that no packets
are sent there. Replacing the server's hostname with its IP address
in the mathpass file doesn't help. I checked /etc/protocols just in
case, but the files are identical on working and nonworking machines.
I'm out of ideas at this point.
