Hi

After some playing and reading around about this:
1.) JDK or JRE must be installed. I installed
SUN's jdk1.3.1_01 (no go with jre 1.3.1, but
please, somebody verifies this..)
2.) after installation of JDK/Jre, check IN
A SHELL-WINDOW, which version of Java/jre really
gets executed. Do this by typing
java -version
(if something like command not found
gets displayed, adjust PATH to contain
the directory where Java/JDK has been
installed (type PATH=/usr/lib/jdk1.3.1_01/jre/bin:$PATH;export PATH
in THE SAME shell-window,
check again which java -version is found
and then RE-INSTALL Limewire in THE SAME shell-window AGAIN.
Afterwards, adjust your PATH in .profile or .bashrc
