1)Download LimeWire to your home directory. You may want to create a directory for it...
2)When you try to install LimeWire you get the following errors:

You need a newer version Of Java VM. Version
1.3 or 1.4 is ok ...
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html for the 1.4.

3)Download the Linux Red Hat RPM shell script to your home directory.

Open a shell terminal emulator window and go to the directory where is located the downloaded file
(j2re-1_4_0-fcs-linux-i386.rpm)

4)Check the large file that you downloaded to ensure that it is the correct size:

j2re-1_4_0-linux-i386-rpm.bin 21278068 bytes

If the file size doesn't match, it probably means the file was corrupted during download. In that case, try downloading again.

5). Run the installation script and agree to the license it displays.
Launch the installation script by using the following commands from the directory in which it is located:

chmod a+x j2re-1_4_0-linux-i386-rpm.bin

./j2re-1_4_0-linux-i386-rpm.bin

The script will display a binary license agreement, which you will be asked to agree to before installation can proceed. Once you have agreed to the license, the install script will create the file j2re-1_4_0-linux-i386.rpm in the current directory.

6)Become root by running the su command and entering the super-user password.

Uninstall Previous Version
rpm -q kaffe
You version version should be: kaffe-1.0.6-11mdk
rpm -e kaffe-1.0.6-11mdk(Remember the cde su)

7)then go the start menu of KDE then configuration >>packaging>>and open gnoRPM (Use this tool to install this package...

7)You can try this as well to install it:

Run the rpm command to install the packages:

rpm -iv j2re-1_4_0-linux-i386.rpm

This will install the packages comprising the Java 2 Runtime Environment.

Exit the root shell.

8)Now if you try to install LimewireLinux you should get an error saying that it cant find VM on your system.


Type the following line and then you should be able to install LimeWire

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.0
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2re1.4.0/bin

Now run ./LimewireLinux.bin
