Can't install Domino 8 on SUSE linux 10

HCL Domino Domino Forum

My linux version is SUSE Linux 10, kernel 2.6.13. I have installed the IBM Java Virtual Machine 1.4.2 and copy the the file “libjitc.so” from “/opt/IBMJava2-142” to “/lib”. As well, I have added the directory “/opt/IBMJava2-142/jre/bin” to the PATH statement.

Type the command to locate the file “cd /root/Desktop/linux/domino”.

Then, type “./install” to install the domino. However, the following information displays in konsole.

It seems the installation can’t start.

Has anybody encounter the same problem? Any hit is welcome.

Make sure you un-tar the file on the Linux machine. I usually see this type of problem when the files are extracted on a Windows box and then moved to the Linux machine.

Subject: you can try this

Yes. I also faced a same issue last time with Domino 8.0. Seem like they already fixed it in Domino 8.0.1.

Make sure you already specify the JAVA path in env.

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/

export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

and if you still cannot up the Installation wizard or you are not using X windows, go to path : linux/domino/tools depend on where you extract the file and issue command below:

java –jar setup.jar –console

you will using console based wizard…

hope this will help you
