Java was needed to be installed before limewire was..So uninstall it and do it one more time...If you have KDE for a desktop then open kpackage , search package limewire and uninstall it there..

Heres a Tip: Download limewireother.zip instead of the rpm to your home folder..unzip it right where it is, home folder, open the limewire file and find runLime.sh, click it..It starts, 90% of the time...Remember, LW is a stand alone platform, all it wants is java and a desktop to run on..

Ive did that tip on Slack and RH based distros and it works..You deb guys are on your own

Now i did read where it does take some linux distro a while to bring it up, ive only had that happen to me on PC-BSD..

If you want to know how to install it and get a icon in your menu then let me know..i forgot but its in my notes at home
