why so hard?
 

why is it so hard to install Limewire, from a begginer point of view, this is a nightmare! how many people out there trying to install and running into problems, really continue on?
there has to be a simple way to install...
as much as I hate windows (and I do) at least program install with ease.
guys, I think that this is the main reason Linux is not as wide spread as it should and could be.
I guess I'll just keep trying... one day I WILL have Limewire running on my Linux machine :-)
that's it off my chest, no more bitching... :-)

Thanks mate,
I have installed and running Gentoo, since then installing Limewire was easy... I actually run it with no problems what so ever, I still think that the install of Limewire should take care of everything needed for a working program...

god dude no ****ing ****, i've tried to install at least 5 p2p clients and they all wont install for some reason .

btw acompw are you logged on in buddy only? cause it says youre not on. anyway you're on buddy list so add me . anyway i really need help with this i haven't listened to any music in a long time ;x and i need to talk in real time chat. this one question/reply a day **** isn't going to cut it really.

Well, i would say it is quite easy.The thing is that you have to java (jdk) installed first.

Here it goes :

download jdk (i am using 1.4 )for Gnu/Linux.

1) use cp jdk_your_version.bin /usr/local/src/ .

2) use chmod u+x jdk_your_version.bin to make your file executable.


3) go ./jdk_your_version.bin <- will install jdk.


4) set up your path .That can be done in a number of ways.The easiest would be to edit your .bash_profile file in your home dir or create a new one if it doesn't exist :-) .


add:

JAVA_HOME= /usr/local/src/jdk_your_version/bin/

PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME:


test in your console by going java --version

You are done :-).

Now go to your limewire.bin and execute it .Hopefully you have LimeWire running .

Steps aren't as easy as defined above!
 

./j2eesdk-1_4-linux.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have the latest version of libstdc++ installed!

Re: Steps aren't as easy as defined above!
 

You are using the wrong java package. The one you have is the "Enterprise Edition" as noted in the java package name j2eesdk. HTH
