Issue:
When running DCTEST on Linux, and error is displayed saying that library cannot be found.
File is found in "/opt/lotus/notes/65000/linux". (Note: the 65000 seems to relate to your version. e.g. 60000 for Domino 6.0 and 65000 for 6.5.)

Solution Options to Try:
As a work-around, you can create a symbolic link:
ln -s /usr/local/notesuser/libnotes.so /opt/lotus/notes/latest/linux/libnotes.so
or
ln -s /usr/lib/libnotes.so /opt/lotus/notes/latest/linux/libnotes.so

You can add it to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/lotus/notes/65000/linux/;
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(You can add this to your bash.profile.)


Hint:
To remove an existing and add an new symbolic link use the following:
(-s = symbolic link, -f = force to delete/update an existing link to new link, n = link to a folder instead of a file )
ln -sf /usr/local/notesuser/libnotes.so / opt/lotus/notes/latest/linux/libnotes.so
