java Exception when trying to run LimeWire
 

Hi,

I have successfully installed LimeWire 2.6 using jre 1.4.1 but when I try to run it I get the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: lax/nl/java/option/java/stack/

Could someone help me please?

Thank you in advance

By the way, I am using Mandrake 9.0

Me too. Same error, same jre, same os (mine may be a little before mandrake 9.0)

Same Problem
 

I have red hat linux 7.3...and I tried to run install LimeWire 2.6.3 using both jre 1.4.1 and j2se (SDK) 1.4, but i get the same error when i run LimeWire.

If I try to run the runLimeWire script that the installer leaves in my home directory, I get the same thing. However, if I "cd LimeWire" and run the script there "./runLime.sh" it starts up fine. I think either the runLimeWire script is broken, or it is left over from the install program. EIther way it should probably be deleted.

Still no luck
 

I tried your suggestion:
1. cd LimeWire
2. sh runLime.sh

I got the message:
runLime.sh: java : command not found

I'm running Mandrake 8.1 by the way.

sorry I forgot to put my name.... There are 2 of us with the samne problem... one running Mandrake 8.1 (me) and the other Mandrake 9.0. I just wanted to clarify which one i am.

Same error here

Hi,

In the file:

.../LimeWire/LimeWire.lax

there should be a line:

lax.nl.java.option.java.stack. size.max=65536

Change it to:

lax.nl.java.option.java.stack.size.max=65536

and LineWire ought to start. That fixed it for me anyhow.

Cheers, Klarg

You, sir, are a god. :) That fixed the problem in one shot. Now, where were you while I tried two versions of JREs, and three versions of SDKs? ;)
