I was also really eager to have a linux version of the client !
I'll try it asap and keep you posted...
NB. It's normally primarly designed for RedHat, so there's maybe a few adjustment to do prior to use it.
[edit] aaargh I hate ibm website, can you provide me with a direct link to download the client in english ?
[edit 2]ok already found link to your page in english (but not yet the download link):
http://www-142.ibm.com/software/sw-lotus/products/product4.nsf/wdocs/linux
[edit 3]it seems that it's only avalaible trough "IBM Passport Advantage" download 
I'll have to harass the Windows minded guys from my company untill they give the credentials or download it for me  |

I haven't even gotten that far.
during ./setup_wct_platform.bin it halts because it "can not validate mozilla version"
I've googled the problem and everything seems to suggest that I'm supposed to put something like.
[1.7.13]
GRE_PATH=/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.13
into /etc/gre.conf or /etc/gre.d/gre.conf.
I even softlinked /opt/mozilla to that exact path but still it gives me the error. I tried installing it on a fedora box since every 3rd party linux product seems to be made with redhat exclusively in mind, and it worked like a charm without problems. Yet... I can't seem to locate the subtle difference between the two boxes that is causing the error to occur.
Has anyone gotten passed this? |

Sorry, we got it from our vendor and don't have it hosted anywhere for download.
As for the problem.
I solved the "can not validate mozilla version" thing by adding /etc/gre.conf and copy-ing /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.13 from the fedora box over to my gentoo box. After that everything went smoothly and the client installed without a hitch. I'll try to figure out the bare minimums needed and write up a howto later that hopefully won't require people to use the fedora mozilla binaries. |

lol my colleagua had the same problem
I bet that you didn't read the readme.pdf that was coming with the zip file !
Installation is absolutely NOT intuitive !!!
it's smth like:
- unzip Personality.zip -d plugin
- copy the setup file somewhere else into the plugin directory (+ change permission)
- run another setup file (after changing permission) that will invoke the initial setup
not complicated, just not intuitive at all...
---
TRICKY PART:
----------------
YOU MUST CREATE an /etc/gre.conf file (writeable by your user)
content:
- where number between brackets is your version of mozilla (!!! must be >= 1.7.12 !!!)
- GRE_PATH is location of your mozilla binaries
| Code: |
[1.7.13]
GRE_PATH=/usr/lib/mozilla
|
Additionnaly, it may require that you set in your profile:
| Code: |
GRE_PATH=<path to your binaries>
export GRE_PATH

no need of Fedora binaries (gentoo src & bin works perfectly  ) |
