1. Install the seamonkey fedora rpm from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/1.1.11/contrib/FC_RPMS/seamonkey-1.1.11-1.i386.rpm

or simply download the source rpm from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/1.1.11/contrib/FC_RPMS/source/seamonkey-1.1.11-1.src.rpm and build it yourself

2. Install the following dependency packages.

#yum install libXp libXmu

3. After the initial install run the following as root

#/usr/bin/xhost local:notes

#su notes
#cd /local/notesdata <– if this is the data path you selected during installation

#/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server

to complete the install.

I had a couple of issues setting up the Domino 8 server on Linux.

– when installing the server, do not select to create the symbolic link – softlink if you are installing into the default locations.

- I also had the usual problem where x-windows could not display the setup program. The error was

“Please edit your shell’s DISPLAY environment variable to
reflect an unlocked terminal that you would like to launch
the Domino Setup Program”
The fix was to su to root and run the command /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost this sets security to let the machine export the display on it’s own screen
then as the “notes” user run…
DISPLAY=:0.0
export DISPLAY

Once this is done cd to the /local/notesdata directory and run /opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server to start the setup program.
