What am I doing wrong? I can't install limewire
 

Hello
I have just downloaded version 2.3 and tried to install it. Unfortunately it didn't work.

java -version
java version "1.3.1_03"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_03-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_03-b03, mixed mode)

Java seems to be ok, doesn't it?


Here are the error messages:

./LimeWireLinux.bin
Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...

Launching installer...

Error: Unrecognized JVM specific option `-Xmx50331648'.

Any/all suggestions would be most welcome.

Many thanks

PS. I am running LM 8.1 with kernel-2.4.17

Simplest solution if the installer won't work, is to download LimeWire for Linux without installer from http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/download_other . Simply untar the archive and start LimeWire.

(The java installer sucks, it works on my computer only every second or third time I try it and tends to freeze in the middle of the installation without even creating an error message.)
