IBM Lotus Notes 9.0.1 Social Edition can't be installed on my imac OSX 10.10

I think you can fix it changing the installer script, I have done it with the 8.5.3 for Maverick. But I'm not sure if it is the same problem. I would need to see the dog file, if you want I can give it a try.

you need to find the the file called : InstallationCheck, open it and find the string close to this :

osv=`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | grep "System Version" | sed -e 's/\(.*\)Mac OS X \(.*\) \(.*\)/\2/g'`

and modify like that :

osv=`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | grep "System Version" | sed -e 's/\(.*\)OS X \(.*\) \(.*\)/\2/g'`

If you can't find the file or the string I can help you better having the package to analyse, write me @ ********* if you want.

Larry & Phillamu,

I was having the same problem, but was able to get 9.0.1 to install under OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) after modifying InstallationCheck. I started with Larry's suggestion, but had to change a few more things to get it to install.

As it turns out, version 10.10 is evaluated as being "older" than 10.8 & 10.5 when the bash script is ran. Think about it, when it comes to a mathematical comparison, 10.10 is a smaller number than 10.5.

To get around this, and preserve the spirit of the script, the change I made was to limit the comparison to the incremental version number.

I also had to change the syntax of the comparison.

In the file InstallationCheck, replace this:

osvLion=`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | grep "System Version" | sed -e 's/\(.*\)OS X \(.*\) \(.*\)/\2/g'`

if [ "$osvLion" \< "10.8" ]

then

osv=`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | grep "System Version" | sed -e 's/\(.*\)Mac OS X \(.*\) \(.*\)/\2/g'`

if [ "$osv" = "" -o "$osv" \< "10.5" ]

with this(the changes are highlighted in bold to help identify them):

osvLion=`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | grep "System Version" | sed -e 's/\(.*\)OS X 10.\(.*\) \(.*\)/\2/g'`

if [ "$osvLion" -lt "8" ]

then

osv=`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | grep "System Version" | sed -e 's/\(.*\)OS X 10.\(.*\) \(.*\)/\2/g'`

if [ "$osv" = "" -o "$osv" -lt "5" ]

A few more notes.

InstallationCheck is located in the Resources folder inside "IBM Notes Installer.pkg", which is located in the Packages folder inside "IBM Notes Installer.mpkg".

Use Finder's "Show Package Contents" feature to look inside the .mpkg & .pkg files.

Use Finder's "Duplicate" feature to save a copy of InstallationCheck before editing the script. (Don't back yourself into a corner. You might need to start over.)

Now I just need to get Notes to actually run!

Good luck!!!

You need the 9.0.1 slipstream that was published on October 16, 2014. After that you need to apply FP2.

Thank you.
It is very clear. Unfortunately, it says I can't modify it as the volume is read only.

I can't change the Pkg or MPKg out of read only.

I use Xcode to modify.

Just move the .pkg file on to your desktop, then do the modifications, the create a new .dmg with the same contents and the modified .pkg...

XCochères, oui merci, je me suis rendu compte que j'étais dans un disque virtuel. J'ai un peu honte mais ça va passer.

ca fonctionne même si il ne crée pas le names.nsf et ne me demande pas mon fichier.id. je l'ai recopié du server et ça fonctionné.

Thanks for this. Very clear and concise.

Спасибо! помогло

Very nice to have starting the installation with modifying some script. But unfortunately, i had stuck on Preparation for installation... under installation menu.

do you have any solution for this?

OS X El Capitan 10.11.16

I am running into the same thing. Except I am installing 9.0.1.
