[Update]

Updated after testing guide on a freshly installed Linux Mint 14 64bit

Install Domino 8.5.3 on OpenSuse 12.2 64bit

Installing Domino on newly released OpenSuse 12.2 64 is a piece of cake. See this short installation log how I did it.

Not a single compatibility library seems to be required.
