Has anyone managed to install Lotus Notes 8.0.1 on Ubuntu 8.04?

These are the issues faced so far after following instructions on the web for installing on Ubuntu 7.04:

1. Graphical installer wouldn't work - found some info to install an additional graphics library which enabled the installer to run but all I got was an empty dialog.
2. Running the installer through -console mode failed with an error unable to read/write /etc/lotus/notes/notesrc. The setup was run under sudo so permissions were not a problem.

I'm annoyed as I had a version of Notes running under 7.10 but this has broken since upgrading.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I know its not officially supported but surely we can get it working?
