i have been trying to get this working for the longest and nothing. people have it installed so i no its possible.


can ANYBODY with fedora give me step y step instructions on how to install it properly? or on how to get the error messages fixed


thanks

i have no idea on this issue im on winnows

best advise to join #support room many here to help as well as myself

I am aware some Linux LW users were having problems with Java 1.6 (6). Downgrading to Java 1.5 fixed their problem. If you installed the most recent Java version, that would be 1.6_11.

Perhaps this version: Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11 (1.5_11) ... choose the JRE.

Java 6 seems not to be too stable for unix type operating systems, both Linux & MacOSX.
