What do you mean by "the program is nowhere to be seen"? The RPM is
installed, right? Try this from a command line:
rpm -q packagename
Replace "packagename" with the name of the IBM package (without the
".x86.rpm" on the end). If it is installed, it should say so.
Which particular IBM WebSphere app are you installing? "WebSphere" refers to
a family of apps. If you are installing the HomePage Builder, you need IBM's
own Wine package (as described on their web site). Also, you can't use this
app if you have XFree 4.x (you need 3.x or lower). Unfortunately, IBM chose
not to display this clearly on their site, so I had to find out the hard
way. To find out your version of X, type "X -version" at a command line.
