Also, not sure about now but originally Java 1.6 would not work properly if other versions of Java were still on the system. (for windows 1.5_10 seemed to be better.)
Sort out which Java you think you should be using first.
Then try deleting LW's preference folder whilst LW is closed; found here for Linux: ~/.limewire OR for the newer versions it may be called limewire: ~/limewire

I tried JRE 1.6 1st, then i removed it, removed the ~/.limewire and ~/.java directories, rebooted and then tried 1.5.0_11 and still no luck.

The message I posted i get when i install Limewire using the package manager named "pacman", If I download and install Limewire manually (both Latest version) then i get this error:
