Another chapter in the RTFM series ....
I couldn't work out why I was getting errors such as: -
com.ibm.wps.dm.exporter.DocumentPreview extractDocument unable to convert
and: -
Stellent Conversion Error: File I/O Error
when I tried to preview files from Word, Excel, Autocad etc. using Lotus Quickr Services for WebSphere Portal.
Given that this had worked o-o-b on Windows, I was surprised to find that, on Linux, I needed to do some more setup to make it work.
Having read this section in the Information Centre, I found that I needed to set three environment variables to the script that I'm using to start Quickr: -
export PATH=/opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/shared/app/oiexport:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/shared/app/oiexport:/usr/X11R6/lib/
export GDFONTPATH=/opt/IBM/Quickr/AppServer/java/jre/lib/fonts
Having done this, I restarted Quickr and all was well.
Again, a useful lesson learnt.

Another useful tip - I've changed the Linux environment to allow it to start without the X11 environment, saving some precious RAM.
Simply changed the default runlevel in /etc/inittab from: -
id:5:initdefault:
to: -
id:3:initdefault:
Quickr runs without problems, and I can also confirm that the document previewing works as well.
Nice :-)
