Ok, so there is no relation to flymake.

"server" is a built-in library, and `server-running-p' is not an
autoload function, so (require 'server) is needed in your init file.

package.el is the Emacs package manager to install packages from outside
repositories.  `package-intitialize' activates your installed packages
(it doesn't load them).  But that doesn't matter here since server is
not a package at all.  You want to keep `package-intitialize' and you
use it correctly, it just doesn't cover as much as you thought.

Did that answer all of your questions?
