So I managed to install ND6 on RHL9 as far as the first part is concerned. Compared to setup on a windows server linux is a bit cryptic.the ./install completed and suggest I logon as notes/notes to complete install. Went to /lotus/bin to start server but says no notes.ini file. Manual at whopping 326 pages says nothing about install phase 2 or completing install on RH Linux. Where should I go to read about how to go on?

www.redbooks.ibm.com - you’ll find a rebook on installing Domino on linux.
it will include a sample startup script you can use to auto-start the server.
btw, you need to switch to /local/notesdata, then execute /opt/lotus/bin/server - it must start from the data directory.

YesI did that ie run ./server from the /notesdata but then I hit some Java things. I have tried with the IBM and SUN j2re kits but both end same story. Here is the result;
[notes@localhost notesdata]$ /lotus/lotus/bin/./server
./java -ss512k -Xoss5M -cp jhall.jar:cfgdomserver.jar:Notes.jar lotus.domino.setup.WizardManagerDomino -data /lotus/notesdata
/lotus/lotus/notes/latest/linux/serversetup: line 124: 2532 Segmentation fault
./java -ss512k -Xoss5M -cp "jhall.jar:cfgdomserver.jar:Notes.jar" lotus.domino.setup.WizardManagerDomino $datapath $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9
[notes@localhost notesdata]$

Unfortunately, you probably are not going to be able to get this release to work with RH9 easily. It is not even officially supported for RH8, although people are having far fewer problems with that release. There are some library and java dependencies that are just broken (or fixed, however you want to look at it) in RH9.
It would probably not be worth your time. Just downgrade, and patch would be my recommendation.

ElweI would not be that gloomy. I changed the startup script to have the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL parm and yes the 6.0.1 server started on RHL9 and after the setup the real server started too. I have an R6.0.1 server on a VM guest under W2K that the client finds easily but the Linux9 Guest refuses to be found. Can ping on server IP of RHL9 and doing a ‘sh server’ shows all is okay but still having a hard time connecting a win 6.0.1 client to the RHL 9 box.
Any ideas?
