i tried both, since i'm on kubuntu, i used alien on the rpm file. I tried launching it from terminal, and from the start menu in KDE. Limewire worked just fine before. this just happend one day, and reinstalling did not fix it. Since i have a norwegian version, i'm not sure what it is trying to load when i get this error, but i think it is "Kernel modules" in english, but not shure
