These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

BlackDown RPM Install +++++++++++++++++++++ BEGIN BLACKDOWN METHOD +++++++++++++++1+++++ I get this when I do: java -version <output> java version "1.3.1" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.3.1-02b-FCS) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.3.1_02b-FCS, mixed mode) </output> Make the appropriate changes depending on where you installed your java installation whether it be sdk or jre: I put where I downloaded my j2sdk1.3.1-02b-FCS: /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3.1 You can find your path by typing this command: which -b java into my PATH in my .bash_profile: (Using vi, a linux editor like windows "edit" program, type: vi .bash_profile press "i" (eye) to insert/edit/add the following.) export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2sdk1.3.1 export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH (Hit "Esc" to end editing. Then type: :wq to save and quit). Next type in your terminal or console to activate these changes and use them now in your current session: souce .bash_profile Otherwise, you might have to logout then back in to accept these changes. If you are in a graphical environment using KDE, Gnome, blackbox, etc use kate, kwrite, or gedit instead. After doing that, I remove kaffe from my system but I have a dependency problem with my wizard packages. I do this command to keep that program around: rpm -e kaffe --nodeps This removes all instances of kaffe binaries from /usr/bin. **Special Note** rpm -e jdkgcj --nodeps for those whom have this package installed on their system. **End Special I next create soft links to the /usr/bin directory but blackdown has most of all of it's java commands (ie java, javac, etc) as symbolic links. Some people´s configuration will not allow that many symlinks (That is a softlink pointing to another softlink) the symlinks point to a "hidden" file called .java_wrapper. So I link this to my /usr/bin directory like so: ln -s /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3.1/bin/.java_wrapper /usr/bin/java After doing that, I execute the LImeWireLinux.bin installer (do this as a regular user and not root. I don't know a way to install it system wide as root yet without making a script.): ./LimeWireLinux.bin Installation works. Program installed, running, and functional. I discovered that I had to install the program as user instead of trying to set it systemwide as root. </snip> Please let me know by leaving a comment or anything if you have any problems with my solution. ++++++++++++++++++++ END BLACKDOWN METHOD ++++++++++++++++++++ Last edited by nDiScReEt; October 19th, 2003 at 01:47 AM. |

Re: I Have The Solution To All Install Problems +++++++++++++++++++++++++ BEGIN TARBALL INSTALL METHOD +++++++++++++++++++++++++ I need to add this for those without an rpm java install that is conflicting with another java program or you simply want to get rid of one. To remove a tarball installed java package (tar.gz and tar.bz2). First find them all: which -b java then remove the directory of the old java tarball path. rm -fr /usr/local/java/j2sdk1.1.8 Make sure you have appropriate access privileges, but that part should go without saying. So it will be said, nevermore. (What a coincidence, I had just finished reading an edgar allen poe book!) mkdir /usr/local/java cd /usr/local/java Let us assume that you downloaded your java package to the "/temp" directory. ls /temp should produce an output like: j2re1.4.1.tar.gz unpack the archive from your current directory; /usr/local/java: tar -xzvpf /temp/j2re1.4.1.tar.gz Java is now installed and now only needs to be configured to be "seen" by the rest of the system. like in /etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile: export JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/java/j2re1.4.1_01/" Finished. ++++++++++++++++++++++ END TARBALL INSTALL METHOD ++++++++++++++++++++++ Last edited by nDiScReEt; January 17th, 2003 at 10:55 PM. |

Hopefully A Final Note First, I just wanted to add for those whom have not installed LimeWire yet in their *nix environment that my suggestions were tested in a bash shell and are not guaranteed to work with any other shell environments. Second, these suggestions that I have provided to fix installation issues are also the best proper way to install LimeWire with a near 100% success rate, which is what my methods are enjoying right now. Third, I discovered that for anyone using gcc3.1 or higher as their primary and only compiler environement will not be able to install LimeWire using the Linux installer.Unless, you put a proper CLASSPATH into your.bash_profile. (Do the following: vi .bash_profile <press "i" (eye) to begin inserting/editing/adding information> export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH: <press "Esc" to end editing> Type the following: :wq <This you do to write and quit.> For those in a graphical environment using KDE, Gnome, blackbox, etc use kate, kwrite, gedit instead. Use the tarball (tar.gz) instead. Lastly, feeling confident that this will solve primarily all problems in this forum thread regarding installation issues using a bash environment (I should be a pollitician because I sure know how to cover my @ztsets! LoL), I am marshalling all my time and energies to developing LimeWire from this point onwards. I have my profiles to receive message when anyone leaves a message anywhere I have been and so I will be able to help out even though I physically won't be checking the forums on a daily basis.

works like a charm It seems that all you have to do to get this to work is make the link to you java bin/.java_wrapper I did it as root and it worked . ln -s /my_java_location/bin/.java_wrapper /usr/bin/java Last edited by andreytcho; May 31st, 2002 at 12:34 PM. |
