Limewire and redhat 7.3
 

Hi all.

I have a problem to install Limewire on my redhat 7.3 distribution.

When i try to install limewire.bin say:

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

Launching installer...

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/zerog/lax/LAX

Sounds like your system is using kaffe by default. Can you confirm?

java -version

or

which java

Hi, same problem here and the version is
java version "1.3.1_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_04-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_04-b02, mixed mode)

Any idea

Sorry for the delay.

I don't have kaffe installed but i downloaded the .tgz version and installed-it. All work properly now.

Sounds like a corrupted download. Download a new one and try again. some download programs don't do a great job of resuming a download correctly. Especially, if it tries to download by segmentation!

Its not a bad file,downloaded limewire 16 times and java 12 times (1.3.1,1'4'1 and beta ) same problem every time ,must be a bad script from the programers at limewire, I sent them an email 4 days ago and no reply

From this link:
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&threadid=7148

let us try the solution which is:
<snip>!!!! FIX !!!
in the java 1.3.1 release notes, i found this:

* For Linux users - The newer glibc-2.2.x libraries cannot correctly handle initial thread stack sizes larger than 6 MB. This can cause a segmentation fault on come Linux platforms that use the newer libraries. Such platforms include Red Hat 7.0, Mandrake 8.0, SuSe 7.2, and Debian 2.2. The problem will not occur on Linux platforms that are using glibc-2.1.x such as Red Hat 6.1 and 6.2. It will also not affect Red Hat 7.1 because it uses a different thread stack layout. This problem is being tracked as bug 4466587.

Workaround - Use "ulimit -s 2048" in bash shell or "limit stacksize 2048" in tcsh to limit the initial thread stack to 2 MB.

i added the line "ulimit -s 2048" to runlime.sh just before the call of java and now it works!

You can either put it in the runLime.sh or put it in your .bashrc or .bash_profile.

HTH, Please report any findings.

On seconf thought, check to see if you have kaffe installed as well on your system.

If you do then remove it and that should fix your problems.

rpm -e --nodeps kaffe
