yes, i ripped it off of joel

I previously wrote about how to install the AT&T network client on Ubuntu 10.04 x64. If you are an IBM employee, the next logical step is to install lotus sametime for instant messaging. Luckily, at one point in time IBM produced deb files for debian-like distributions that can still be used on 10.04. For this, i will assume that you have already followed the instructions to install the global network client, including installing getlibs.

First, download sametime 7.51 blue from http://pokgsa.ibm.com/projects/l/lud/pool/stable/s/sametime-blue/sametime-blue_7.5.1.20070416-4_i386.deb

Then run `sudo apt-get install libmotif3` and then `sudo getlibs -p libmotif3`

The next dependency is lib32stdc++5, so to install it you first have to add a ppa to your apt repositories using the command `sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jason-scheunemann/ppa`

You can then `sudo apt-get update` and then `sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++5`

Next you have to install the 64 bit version, so `wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_amd64.deb` then `sudo dpkg -i libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_amd64.deb`

Lastly, `sudo dpkg -i –force-architecture sametime-blue_7.5.1.20070416-4_i386.deb`

Sametime should now show up in the applications menu under the other category. You can sign in using your IBM intranet id and password, although due to some library problems that I have not yet solved, certain preferences (such as password saving and location setting) do not work. Ill update this post if I end up solving these issues.

As always, YMMV. Good luck!

The AT&T global network client is a 32 bit application, that with a bit of messing with it will run perfectly fine on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit.

Here are the steps that I came up with that worked for me:

• make sure you have the 32 bit compatibility package installed, `sudo apt-get install ia32-libs` will do the trick
• Install getlibs from http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/getlibs-all.deb
• Download the client from agnclient-2.0.1-ubuntu
• Unzip the file
• from the command line, install all three packages using `sudo dpkg –force-all -i <package.deb>` – I installed agnclient_1.0.1-1_i386.deb first, then the gtk package, then the dev package
• Use getlibs to install the necessary libraries. I only needed libssl, so I did `sudo getlibs -p libssl0.9.8`
• I then had to create some symbolic links so that the client would work properly, so in /lib32, i ran `sudo ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.4` and `sudo ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.4`
• To verify that everything works properly, I checked the linking of the various programs to ensure that they were linking against the proper libraries, here is what I got

• you might need to install additional libraries, use getlibs to do it as shown above (my system had some libraries on it before I started the install that yours might not have)
• restart the daemon with `sudo /etc/init.d/agnclientd restart`
• try opening the client from the applications menu under the internet category and connecting
• If something goes wrong, check the logs in /var/log/agns

Good Luck!
