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

bash-2.05a# ./LimeWire

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? ;)

Cool
 

I'll be damned... it fixed it for me too. Theres another solution to a problem that i wouldn't have been able to fix myself in a million years.

thanks,

Blaine

SI FUNCIONO CARAJO!!!

Quality Assurance
 

I have LimeWire running now on Red Hat 8.0 and with this problem out of the way I no longer need to cd to limewire to run runLime.sh whoohoooo!!! Is it just me or should the LimeWire team have caught this code error before they released version 2.6.3? This says to me they simply did not try running the program after making sure the installer worked. You have a great product guys but come on, don't get lazy :-)

awwwwwwwwwwwwww! duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
you rock man!

re java and script error
 

Like to thank those in the know, the fixes you pasted here worked like a charm, once I did a search and found kaffe and fixed that in the bash_profile and removed it from the machine and fixed the script error in LimeWire.lax all is well. Great tips guys !!!
Thanks a mill I was about to pull my hair out. These kinda things should be in the install area since so many out there are having these issues.

OMG THAT FIXED IT THANKS!!!!
