I have a similar problem on Linux/PPC
I removed ~/.limewire, downloaded limewire 4.8.1 and started it using ./runLime.sh.
The first time I did it it did not work.
The second time LimeWire came up and let me d/l some files. After some time I closed it while some files were still downloading.
Now I can't start it again.
All I get is this
Code:
~/LimeWire-4.8.1$ ./runLime.sh
Starting LimeWire...
Java exec found in PATH. Verifying...
Suitable java version found [java = 1.4.2]
Configuring environment...
Loading LimeWire:
I waited several hours and nothing happened.
Code:
$ java -version
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2)
Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM build cxppc321420-20040626 (JIT enabled: jitc))
