Subject: Install procedure 8.5 on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid
Feedback Type: Problem
Product Area: Notes 8 Client
Technical Area: Install
Platform: Linux
Release: All
Reproducible: Always

I have downloaded the IBM Lotus Notes 8.5 for Linux (Debian Install) English (C1W0TEN) package to install on Ubuntu. I unpack to get the different DEB files and launch the one for the Notes client.
The first warning I get is that I try to install an AMD64 package on a 32-bit system (it is the only Linux DEB package available for download !). Googling I find that you can force through a --force-architecture command. OK, it installs, no message whatsoever. But then ???
I've read on the internet to launch /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/notes. Nothing happens. No program icon available either. What am I doing wrong? My Ubuntu is up to date for the rest. Even in the 8.5 administrator help IBM doesn't provide a step-by-step install procedure. This won't help users switch easily to a Linux box I'm afraid...
Anyone got it installed successfully? Thanks for any help!

PS : I'm sorry, I just noticed I posted this in the Notes 8 forum instead of 8.5. I cannot move it?
