Hi, I ran upon the same error message while installing ArcGIS 10 license manager on Ubuntu 10.04 (I had no problem with 9.3 version on Ubuntu). I realise this post is a bit old, but who knows, it might be of use to someone else. Here's what I did, but it's a bit risky, please make backups if you want to try it : - downloaded binutils 2.11.93.02 RPM - used alien to make DEB from RPM - uninstalled current version of binutils (dependencies had to be uninstalled too). - installed instead binutils 2.11.93.02 - proceeded with license manager installation : it went fine, everything ok, ArcGIS working on windows computer with my ubuntu server - rebooted, keeping my fingers crossed that my server WOULD reboot - gave a huge sigh of relief - reinstalled current version of binutils, just out of curiosity - it still works!! So I guess you could skip the reboot stage. Hope this helps... Official Ubuntu support would be great though! Would ESRI consider it in the future?
