Cool, news about mulgara seems finally to be spreading. I have been playing around with mulgara and I must say that I have been very impressed by it. See:

L'avvelenata, Guccini e Bertoncelli

Mi sono spesso chiesto chi fosse il Bertoncelli dell'Avvelenata di Guccini. Dopo un po' di ricerca ho trovato questo articolo

Rational Application Developer 7 on Kubuntu/ubuntu Edgy Eft

After struggling to install RAD7 on kubuntu (it fails at the installation of the websphere 6.1 runtime), a collegue of mine found this posting:

WebSphere Portal 6 on Ubuntu (continued) - Exception: null

So, if you are struggling to get RAD7 installed on your kubuntu/ubuntu machine here is the procedure:
1) make /bin/sh point at bash: cd /bin; sudo ln -sf bash sh
2) install RAD7
3) replace the shell in the scripts: sudo perl -p -i -e "s/\/sh$/\/bash/" /opt/IBM/SDP70/runtimes/base_v61/bin/*.sh
4) replace the shell in the script for the profile management: sudo perl -p -i -e "s/\/sh$/\/bash/" /opt/IBM/SDP70/runtimes/base_v61/bin/ProfileManagement/*.sh
5) enable write access to the profile, so that you can develop using your user account: sudo chmod -R a+w /opt/IBM/SDP70/runtimes/base_v61/profiles/AppSrv01
6) restore the original link: cd /bin; sudo ln -sf dash sh

and then enjoy RAD7 running under ubuntu!

An alternative to step 1-3, contribuited by Joshua Purcell (see comments to this post), is to run:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash

Choose 'no' when it asks if you want to make sh symbolically link to dash. The same command can be used in place of step 6 if you ever want to switch back to dash.

Thanks Joshua!

PS: ubuntu and kubuntu are not officialy supported by IBM/Rational, so use at your own risk.
