HOWTO: Install & setup Lotus Notes for Linux

[loupy]

I was having issues even after motif - what I finally did was change the launcher to point to an executable file I created and it setup fine. Not sure if this will work for everyone, but here is the code for the file I used:

noteslauncher.sh

# -- Added for Lotus Notes for Linux
NOTESBIN=/home/loupy/notes
NOTESDATA=/home/loupy/notes/data
NOTESDIR=/home/loupy/notes/data

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$NOTESBIN:$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin/classic:$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

PATH=$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin:$NOTESBIN:$PATH

CLASSPATH=$NOTESBIN:$CLASSPATH

export NOTESBIN NOTESDATA NOTESDIR LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH CLASSPATH

# run the app
/opt/ibm/Workplace\ Managed\ Client/rcp/richclient -personality com.ibm.workplace.noteswc.standalone.linux.personality

If you source same variables in your terminal, what version of java you get?

Johan:
If you source same variables in your terminal, what version of java you get?

johann@johann-desktop:~$ java -version
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2)
Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM build cxia32142ifx-20041203 (142SR1+80507) (JIT enabled: jitc))

But afaik, the WMC client uses it's own JVM as does the Notes client.

[QUOTE=treb0re;1306223]I've got exactly the same problem... installed plenty of times and still get the same output as that... I've got libmotif installed and everything else plus the libs setup in the path....

I was also getting NSD errors but just got it working - I deleted bookmark.nsf and log.nsf and it started working. I'm a roaming Notes user and my bookmark.nsf downloaded when I first got the wizard running, I'll try this on my other Ubuntu computer later to confirm this.

Dsvid.

For those who can't get the native version up and running,
running the Windows version under Wine is still a good alternative,
and is getting better. See
http://wiki.winehq.org/LotusNotes
for details. As of wine-0.9.18, the client runs fairly well,
without any native DLLs.

anybody get notes working in dapper? I also get the errors stated above. Havent any clues anymore..

[acascianelli]

Did anybody figure out the Pango Warning problem?

[Rever75]

I am also getting the same issue as everyone above. With the Pango error and gtk locale not supported error. I will continue to troubleshoot it and if I find a solution will post it here. If someone already found one could you please post it for the rest of us to try.

I also have the problem with the "starting nsd" at work. (dapper drake)

At home (hoary->breezy->dapper) I can start lotus notes, but I also see the same pango errors.
Maybe the pango error isn't the problem ... ?

Dapper 6.06 same issue with Pango errors and followed by launch of NSD...
