Hi,

I have been using Limewire for a long time now on Windows and have loved it. I just switched my os over to Mandrake Linux because of my being tired with all the general MS issues. (not to do with limewire... just general hate of MS bugs) I have been using Linux on and off for years and am decent at it but am definatly no expert. I downloaded Limewire and installed it and got a wierd error and I am unsure what it means or how to solve it. The error is:

[root@muppetlabs limewire]# sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin
Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...

Launching installer...

Does anyone have any clue about this? I am running Mandrake Linux 9.0. Any assitance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Make sure you have java 1.4 from java.sun.com installed. Simply type "java -version" in a terminal.

I installed sun's j2sdk1.4.1 and j2re1.4.1 on my system but when I type in java -version it lists kaffe java virtual machine. Engine: Just-in-time v3 Version: 1.0.7 Java Version: 1.1

I uninstalled kaffe's version and tried the version command again and it gives me a error stating /usr/bin/java not found. I tried to reinstall suns version thinking it got uninstalled maybe but it states it is already installed. What I assume here is that the kaffe java vm was installed in /usr/bin/java. Suns java that I installed is located in /usr/java/..
/j2sdk1.4.1_01 or /j2re1.4.1_01

Am I assuming right? If so what do I do to correct this problem? Thanks.

Add /usr/java/bin or where ever Sun put the java executable to your path by adding the following lines to your ~/.profile file:

JAVA_HOME=<path to your java installation, e.g "/usr/java/">
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$PATH:<path to the directory where Sun's java executable is located e.g. "/usr/java/bin">
export PATH
