I've got the LimeWireLinux 1.4 .bin in my home dir.
I use Mandrake Linux 8.0, so I popped the CD in and installed the ncompress rpm (easy to do, mandrake even has a GUI for these sorts of things now).

But now, every time I run the bin, I get a long error message, and occasionally my entire system will lock up (which is very unusual for Linux)

It goes like this:

[user@name dir]$ ./LimeWireLinux.bin
Preparing to install...
SIGSEGV received at bffff31c in /tmp/install.dir.1441/Linux/resource/jre/lib/linux/native_threads/libjava.so Processing terminated
Writing stack trace to javacore2519.txt ... OK
./LimeWireLinux.bin: line 1: 2519 Segmentation fault /tmp/install.dir.1441/Linux/resource/jre/bin/jre -Djava.compiler= -noverify -cp "::/tmp/install.dir.1441/InstallerData:/tmp/install.dir.1441/InstallerData/installer.zip" com.zerog.lax.LAX "/tmp/install.dir.1441/temp.lax" /tmp/env.properties.1441


Then I get either a new prompt, or my linux system crashes, neither of which is good.
