So, here are the steps to install IBM Lotus Notes For Linux on Fedora Core 6:
1. Unzip C93D1NA.zip to ~/notes_install
2. Unzip personality.zip to plugin directory
3. chmod +x ~/notes_install/plugin/setup_wct_platform.bin
4. chmod +x ~/notes_install/setuplinux.bin
5. cp ~/notes_install/setuplinux.bin ~/notes_install/plugin/updateSite/features/
com.ibm.workplace.notesinstall.linux.feature_7.0.1.0000-0900/bin/linux/
6. Run ~/notes_install/plugin/setup_wct_platform.bin -console
7. Sometimes notes plugin is not installed (don't ask me why), so run the installation manually by:
cd to that long directory
./setuplinux.bin -console
You can recognize that notes plugin is not installed when there is no ~/notes directory.
8. Go to ~/notes (cd ~/notes).
9. ln -s /usr/lib/libXmu.so.6 libXm.so.3
10. Run notesstart and finish the setup (old lotus notes way).
Here is the content of my notesstart located in ~/bin:
#!/bin/sh
NOTESBIN=/home/$USER/notes
NOTESDATA=/home/$USER/notes/data
NOTESDIR=/home/$USER/notes/data
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$NOTESBIN:$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin/classic:$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin
:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin:$NOTESBIN:$PATH
CLASSPATH=./:$NOTESBIN/:$CLASSPATH
export NOTESBIN NOTESDATA NOTESDIR LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH CLASSPATH
/opt/IBM/Workplace\ Managed\ Client/rcp/richclient -personality com.ibm.workplace.noteswc.standalone.linux.personality
To have the information complete, I was using Lotus Notes on FC3 for a long time and installation went without any problems as described by IBM.
Enjoy,
P.
P.S. Many thanks to guys discussing in this thread, where I figured out what how to fix my Notes.
