LimeWire on Linux: This is how it worked for me....

#3 (**permalink**) June 1st, 2001

Hi Axe.
I´m using SuSE 7.1 and did it on the following way (sorry for my engish):

First I´ve installed the newest JRE from Sun for RH-Linux by using the instructions in the SuSE-Support-Database (How to install an RPM-Package made for other Distributions. You can find it by the keyword "java").

After that was done I changed the link "java" in "/usr/lib/" which pointed on the original JDK1.1.8-directory in the same directory to the new Runtime-E. (for all who wants to know: ln -s /usr/java/jre1.3.1 /usr/lib/java).

First I tried to install the "Linux-Version" of LimeWire, but I had too much trouble with it.
So I used the "LimeWireOther.zip"-Version for other OS and installed it with: "java -classpath LimeWireOther.zip install"

No stupid messages, everything went ok and I installed it into /usr/local/lw.

These steps were done as root but all other user on the system can use LimeWire too without any problems.

Bye
