I am running Domino 7.0.3 on 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. I have installed the 64-bit daosest file in /opt/lotus/notes/latest/linux. The owner of the file is root/daemon. The permissions are 755. I made the symbolic link /opt/lotus/bin/daosest which points to /opt/lotus/bin/tools/startup. This is all as per the installation instructions.
My problem is that I can’t invoke the program from the Domino console using ‘load daosest’.
What am I missing?
Subject: What does it do when you launch directly from Terminal/Console
From Domino Data Directory
Run
/opt/lotus/bin/daoest
Also,try downloading the daosest program file again and installing… Make sure if using ftp to always be in binary mode.
Subject: This is the response I get when typing from a terminal
/opt/lotus/notes/latest/linux/daosest: error while loading shared libraries: libnotes.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I verified that the file, libnotes.so, does exist. I also downloaded a fresh copy of the daosest file for 64-bit systems.

After corresponding with someone within IBM directly, it turns out that I should have downloaded the 32-bit version of DAOSEST since Domino is 32-bit. Any missing libraries should be installed in their 32-bit versions to allow the program to run.
