 Posted: Tue Aug 01, 2006 10:55 am Post subject: How to install the IBM Lotus Notes Client on Gentoo Linux |
 |
|
Don't let the requirements confuse you, you don 't need gnome or some special window manager installed.
emerge mozilla or seamonkey (firefox will not do)
create a file /etc/gre.conf with the following content
| Code: |
[1.7.12]
GRE_PATH=/usr/lib/mozilla
|
if you emerged seamonkey, the path above is /usr/lib/mozilla
It doesn't matter, what version of mozilla/seamonkey you emerged, don't get confused with the 1.7.12 above
emerge some needed gnome libraries:
| Code: | | emerge libgnomeprintui gnome-vfs |
unpack the zip file from IBM and follow the instructions. IMPORTANT: After the installation you have to log out and log back in again, because the installation changes paths in bash_profile
when the installation is done, I would change the fonts under File/Lotus Notes Preferences/Default Fonts to Arial, Times New Roman etc.
also I would change the browser used by Notes under File/Mobile/Edit Current Location/Internet Browser to your preferred browser.
Lotus Notes is embedded in the eclipse rich client platform (rcp), which is written in Java. The Java runtime to run the rcp is delivered with Lotus Notes and is IBM Java 1.4. If you want to use your installed jdk you can change this in the file
| Code: |
$NOTESBIN/rcp/rcpinstall.properties
|
change the value in vm to your java runtime i.e.
CAUTION: if your installed jvm is not an IBM jvm, you also have to remove the parameter -Xj9 from the following line in rcpinstall.properties
| Code: |
vmarg.com.ibm.rcp.jre.feature.xj9=
|
otherwise the jvm won't start.
If you run several java programs at once, like Notes and Eclipse, you can save memory by emerging the latest IBM JDK 1.5 (it's in portage, may be ~arch). This JVM supports class sharing between different JVMs running, which will speed up loading and save a lot of memory. To use this feature, you have to append the parameter -Xshareclasses to the java command to run the program. Eclipse and Notes have their own loader, but you can add this parameter to the commands like this:
| Code: |
Notes:
$NOTESBIN/rcp/richclient -vm /usr/bin/java -personality com.ibm.workplace.noteswc.standalone.linux.personality -vmargs -Xshareclasses
Eclipse:
eclipse-3.2 -vm /usr/bin/java -vmargs -Xshareclasses

hi therealpete,
i have emerge seamonkey-1.0.2 and edited the /etc/gre.conf to
| Code: |
marc@localhost ~/download/notes $ cat /etc/gre.conf
[1.0.2]
GRE_PATH="/usr/lib/seamonkey" |
when i run the setup_wct_platform.bin, the installshield wizard comes up and says, that it cannot validate the mozilla version. in this thread someone reports, that the fedora versions are needed.
EDIT: unmerged seamonkey and emerged mozilla-1.17.3, doesn't work either
tia,
marc
ps: running amd64 |

make that
| Code: |
[1.7.12]
GRE_PATH="/usr/lib/seamonkey"
|
what I meant with my posting was that the version of the installed browser, like seamonkey 1.0.5, is not important, what's important is that it says 1.7.12 in /etc/gre.conf, because that is what the installer checks. |

reinstalled seamonkey, changed /etc/gre.conf to match yours, but the results are the same error message as before, that the installer "can not validate the mozilla-version".
do i need the 32-bit libraries? |

For people who get seg faults when notes starts, here is quick and dirty hack:
emerge openmotif (if you don't have already)
cp /home/<user>/notes/*.so /usr/lib
It worked for me. If you still can't start it, go to /home/<user>/notes and run lnotes. It should print something like this:
| Code: | | Can not find shared library: xxx.so |
Find this file and copy it to /usr/lib
Hope this helps. |
