LimeWire installer Can't find VM
 

Can anyone help, I successfully installed the latest version of java without a hitch, it's at least jre 1.3.1, however when i go to install limewire, it says it cannot find Java VM installed on the hard drive? Can anyone help me on this?

Try the "sticky" right quick. It has been updated.

Boy, that's daunting isn't it. So many commands :(

LoL
 

That is why I was going to make an installer for tying limewire together with java. That way it should work for everyone. If the one I am about to post is reliable enough, maybe it would be incorporated with the LimeWire installer all-in-one.

well I had exactly the same problem, try this
export PATH="/usr/java/jre/bin":$PATH
now that path may not necessarily be the path to where you installed java to, I think default path on install is /usr/share. The VM file the LimeWire is looking for is in the bin folder.

I'm still having the exact same problem. My java runtime is installed to /usr/java/jre1.3.1_04.
I typed the command: sh LimeWireLinux.bin -PATH="/usr/java/jre/bin":$PATH

I'm getting the message: No java V.M could be found from your path environment variable you must install....blah blah blah

I'm new to Linux.... what am i doing Wrong?

Success
 

Nevermind the last question: i found the answer here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=11915

all i did was
1. I actually uninstalled my old runtime for a newer version (this wasn't necessary, i just wanted the most recent version)
2. i typed the commands

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.1, export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/bin
sh LimeWireLinux.bin

I have no idea what that did, but it worked

Thanks anyway

ahhh wow. I have no idea what that did either, but it fixed mine too, and I was having the exact same problem. I'm also pretty new.. would anybody mind explaining what that just did? :)

U ROCK.
 

I had the same version, and it worked fine :). 1.4.1. Thanks :)

i was thinking i might have had a similar prob as you all so i tried the same thing but no dice. im getting this:
