LimeWire 1.4 + JDK 1.4beta on Redhat 7.1 = IMPOSSIBLE
 

Hi,

I couldn't get it working with the above configuration. I tried uninstalling Kaffe and installing j2sdk-1.3.1, but it wouldn't work with that either!! (The JDK appears to be working.) Perhaps it's not a Java problem?

From my understanding you are supposed to use jre1.3.1, not jdk. That's how it worked for me anyways.

If the installer is not working for you, I would recommend simply manually downloading the necessary files.

The IBM JRE should work with RedHat 7.1, and LimeWire should be able to run on it. You can download the IBM JRE from:

http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/dklx130/dklx130-p

You will have to register on their site, however.

Once you have the JRE installed, you will also need the following two file from the LimeWire web site.

www.limewire.com/updates/LimeWire14.jar and

www.limewire.com/updates/collections.jar

Once you have all of these files downloaded, you can then type:

java -cp LimeWire.jar:collections.jar:. a.a.a.b.Main

from the directory where you downloaded the two LimeWire files.

We will create a better solution at some point for systems on which our installer does not work. I realize that the above system is quite cumbersome, but you will only need to download the JRE once. LimeWire will automatically update the jar files for you when we release new versions.
