If you want to run Lotus Connections on the 64-bit (x86) version of Redhat Linux, you will need the 64-bit versions of the WAS, HTTP Server, TDI and DB2 (if using that RDBMS) software.  Makes sense, doesn't it?

However, you will also find that these versions are not supplied in the standard eAssembly for Lotus Connections v2.0.  

Therefore, you will need to do one of the following:

1) dig out the 64-bit versions from other eAssemblies (if you have access to them, e.g. as a member of Partnerworld)
2) contact IBM Support and request them.

To make this easier, here are the parts you will need:

WebSphere Application Server V6.1 for Linux on x86-64, 64-bit Support German English International Spanish French Italian Japanese Korean Portuguese Brazilian Chinese Simplified Chinese Traditional (C87R0ML)
WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Supplements for Linux on x86-64, 64-bit Support German English International Spanish French Italian Japanese Korean Portuguese Brazilian Chinese Simplified Chinese Traditional (C87XSML)
Tivoli Directory Integrator V6.1.1 Linux - EM64T/AMD64, Multilingual (C966AML)
DB2 Enterprise Server Edition V9.1 for Linux on AMD64 & Intel EM64T Systems (x86-64) Multilingual (C13KTML)

As always, I hope this helps someone that is in the same situation ;-)
