Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Rex forgot to mention that you would have to create that link in the actual directory where libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 is located. What Rex is doing is providing a link to the old libc6.1-1.so.2 as that is no longer seen libstdc++2.10-2.96-0.80mdk for my mandrake package which is actually symlinked to /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so.

To find out where your libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so is located type this command:

whereis libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so

find that and then symlink it like this to keep symlinks to a minimum (ie to avoide a symlink to a symlink that is symlinked to an actual file) follow these instructions;

First, go to the directory where the whereis program located your file and then type:

ls -l libstdc++*

we type this command to check to see if the symlink:

libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.2

isn't already present. If it isn't then create the symlink:

ln -s libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.2


Thank you Rex for posting the solution to the Suse 8.1 runtime issue with glibc-type error messages when trying to execute limewire after a successful install, as I couldn't since I had to remove Suse 8.1 to reconfigure my development box.

altoine

This should help you. I would post it to my solutions but it has two maybe three things that make it a no-no:

1. It is specific only to that distribution and version (Suse 8.1 only).

2. It is too advanced to discuss as an added step, especially when you see reason #1.

3. I didn't get approval from Rex to post his solution as an added option for Suse 8.1 users. I could assume it was ok except that when you consider reason #1.

If it is still present in Suse 8.2+ I will then post this as an added step in proper install solutions.

Default RedHat 8.0 No Virtual Machine

Thank you for this thread, nDiScReEt. I did not view it at first, because it was very long. I thought it would be a general discussion, but when I read it I was surprised to see how many different and specific installation problems were addressed.

I'm afraid I may be misunderstanding some of the solutions. That's probably because I am a Linux novice and don't know the difference between Debian, Mandrake, and RedHat.

I found a problem very similar to mine. It is the missing Virtual Machine line for RedHat 8.0. I recently installed the most recent version of java, j2re-1.4.1.01 . Here is what my terminal says when I try to install LimeWire:

[root@localhost root]# /tmp
[root@localhost tmp]# sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin
Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...
No java virtual machine could be found from your PATH environment variable. You must install a VM prior to running this program.
[root@localhost tmp]#

I downloaded my java to my /tmp directory rather than home. Was that a mistake?

Maybe another problem would be my choice of terminal? I used the java -version command in my terminal (KDE X Terminal, Konsole 1.1.3) as "root." You mentioned a vi terminal, but I really don't know what it is. I tried to run vi in the run program,. but got nothing. When I ran the java -version command in KDE X Terminal, I got the following:

bash: java: command not found

That occurred before and after I ran the install line, which you suggested to Unregistered, but get a reply that the package is already installed!

It is installed at /usr/java

BUT - when I run java -version, I get the command not found line above.

Have I made a fundamental error somewhere?

Can you get me on track?

Thanks in advance,

ClayD

A few program clarifications before we begin:

vi is an editor like kate, kedit, emacs, and notepad.

A terminal is similiar to a "dos prompt" and the linux equivalents are Konsole, rxvt, Eterm, and Gnome Terminal.

Now onto your problem...

Let us define "installed" first. When you "installed" java to the /tmp directory, do you mean that is where you downloaded the java package? ...or where you directed the installation of java? Is this by means of a tar.gz file or rpm?

Let us assume that you are using a rpm. So, it is located in your /tmp directory.

Let us avoid "forcing" an install of your program on your system and simply remove and then reinstall your program.
Type this command into your kde terminal (as root):

su -c "rpm -e j2sdk-1.4.1_01-fcs" (this assumes you used the latest sun java package *Note**Replace "j2sdk with j2re if that is the package you used* ***Addedd Note***su -c is a "super user" command to execute a command as root. With the added flag "-c", it only allows you to execute the command following it once. The """ quotes are added because they are needed when there are spaces in a command string.****)

Now let us reinstall your package:

su -c "rpm -ivh /tmp/j2sdk-1.4.1_01*.rpm"

or

su -c "rpm -ivh /tmp/j2re-1.4.1_01*.rpm"

(Which one depends on if you downloaded the sdk (software development kit) or jre (java run-time environment). Thankfully, from this point we are finished with root!

Next, your command:

java -version

This time it should spit out some happy output:

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode

We want to next create the necessary environment variables in your .bash_profile or .bashrc which is located in your home directory ($HOME, ~/, or /home/(username))

Continuing writing commands from the command line:

kwrite $HOME/.bash_profile

or

kwrite $HOME/.bashrc

Replace "kwrite" with "kate" if you don't have kwrite installed on your system.

From there add the two lines:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Save and quit out of "kwrite" or "kate".

Back to the terminal, type this command:

source .bash_profile

or

source .bashrc

Now, when you run this command:

which java

you should get:

/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin/java


NOw you can install LimeWire as usual.

HTH

Default

can't get mine working either, i have installed BOTH the jre and jdk versions. If i look in my browser plugins it says that i have java installed (i manually linked it to there). So i can use chat online and the like. However, when i type in "java -version" i get "command not found"

I tried installing limewire and it says that there is no VM installed.

I read a lot of the posts, but did't see anything that clearly answers this. Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Default ClayD and guyintoronto

I would really much love to help you two but there is this serious lack of information. I don't have any idea as to what steps you have done to arrive at your delimma. I would appreciate if you two could mention line for line like I did in my instructions, the steps you did. Either that or create a symlink to your "/usr/bin" directory from your java binary. Example:

ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk-1.4.1-01/bin/java /usr/bin/java

I mention the use of this symlink because I think your system does not load your .bash_profile or .bashrc when you first login. I am currently experiencing this with my gentoo installation but It works nonetheless using the symlink above (Of course, link the java binary to your specific installation directory).

I am hunting down the source of my problem with why my .bash_profile is not being used at logon.

The only thing that troubles me is that even if your system doesn't use your .bash_profile at logon, the "source .bash_profile" or "source .bashrc" command should still setup your environment for useage with LimeWire.

My only conclusion is that there is a typo and it needs to be ferreted out. The typo begins in either "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/" or in "export PATH=JAVA_HOME/bin/:$PATH".

Can you get the correct output by doing:

java -version

or

which java

?

Default Java woes

I've run through the process successfully (that is, gotten LimeWire to run just fine on several occasions); recently, though, and rather inexplicably, I've needed to "source /etc/.bash_profile" in order for "java -version" to work each time I run a new terminal. Also, after i get java recognized (it prints just what it should for both "java -version" and "which java") and run "sh /usr/LimeWire/runLime.sh", the following prints:
"Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: No such file or directory
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:112)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:117)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:55)"

I don't know anything about java (or that much regarding linux, for that matter), so I am quite puzzled by this. any thoughts?
Thanks much
