I've had this problem a few times in the past, and either worked around it, or solved it and forgot how :-(
In preparation for my Lotus Connections 3.0 installation, I've been trying ( and failing ) to install Lotus Domino 8.5 onto a VMware image of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5.
The error that I see is: -
Error: The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running the installer with the -console or -silent flag.
when I run: -
/tmp/linux/domino/install
I'd tried logging the installer in log mode: -
/tmp/linux/domino/install -is:log /tmp/foobar.txt
but, apart from showing me the detail of what was going on: -
Executing launch script command: "/tmp/isjykAnI6/jre/bin/java" -cp "":"setup.jar":"" -Dtemp.dir="/tmp" -Dis.jvm.home="/tmp/isjykAnI6" -Dis.jvm.temp="1" -Dis.media.home="" -Dis.launcher.file="/tmp/linux/domino/tools/setupLinux.bin" -Dis.jvm.file="/tmp/isjykAnI6/jvm" -Dis.external.home="/tmp/linux/domino/tools" -Xms20m -Xmx1024m run "-G" "overwriteJVM=yes" in working directory /tmp/linux/domino/tools
it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.
Googling around, I found this: -
Error when installing WebSphere Message Broker for Linux x86 V6.0
which helped me, although the author still appears to be struggling :-(
As part of his PD routine, he'd installed two RPMs: -
yum install libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
yum install libXp.so.6
I tried the first ( libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 ) but that didn't help.
I then tried the second ( libXp.so.6 ) and .... voila, the installer launched as it should, and I was good to go.
Will contact the author of the blog post, and thank him for helping me out of a hole :-)
