Hi all,
I installed OpenMotif, Mozilla 1.7.13 and did step by step as Lotus 7.0.1 ReadMe file says, downloading Notes_linux_sled10_patch_Nov27.zip, installing all 3 required rpm files and fixing gre.conf file.
Still it doesn’t install Workplace Managed Client, saying “cannot validate mozilla version”.
Can anyone who installed Lotus Notes 7.0.1 on OpenSuSE 10.2 with Gnome, says what are the steps and what is missing from the steps in the file?
I should say, it’s not also permission problem, 'cos I can run Mozilla with my user, and have 777 right to /opt/IBM and notes install folder and files.
Thanks,

Don’t worry about it! I found a way around it. There are 3 RPMs in “ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/lotus/fixes/notes” for IBM Work Place Client. First one installs WPC, second one configures it and third one install Lotus Notes 7.0.1!!! All without asking for Mozilla or FireFox.Although it gets a bit ugly after installing those RPMs till you can run Lotus notes, but it still worth it.
For example, you should run Notes by following commands:
#!/bin/sh
NOTESBIN=/home/nazemi/notes
NOTESDATA=/home/nazemi/notes/data
NOTESDIR=/home/nazemi/notes/data
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$NOTESBIN:$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin/classic:$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin:$NOTESBIN:$PATH
CLASSPATH=./:$NOTESBIN/:$CLASSPATH
/opt/IBM/Workplace\ Managed\ Client/rcp/richclient -personality com.ibm.workplace.noteswc.standalone.linux.personality
also, it keeps moaning on libXm.so.3, which I just copied libXm.so.4 to libXm.so.3 and it did work well !!!
Anyhow, all in all, it does work for me and I finally managed to install Lotus Notes 7.0.1 on OpenSuSE 10.2! Off course I wrote above commands in an executable file and run them by their shortcut in the desktop ;o)
