Hi!

I WAS trying to install LimeWire, but...

michel@michel:~/Download$ ./LimeWireLinux.bin
Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...

Launching installer...

And then someone would say "This is easy: install JAVA and everything will be just fine" Well, take a look:

michel@michel:~/Download$ java -version
java version "1.4.2_03"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_03-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_03-b02, mixed mode)
michel@michel:~/Download$

And my browser (Firefox-0.8) is running java just fine. In fact i tested VM at java.com test page (its perfect).

"OK, what u have to do is to configure PATH to java directory" I THINK that this might be the problem, but take a look:

michel@michel:~/Download$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/www/htdig/bin:/usr/local/j2re1.4.2_03/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/lib/qt-3.1.2/bin:/usr/share/texmf/bin:.:/usr/local/j2re1.4.2_03/bin:.
michel@michel:~/Download$ echo $CLASSPATH
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/lib:.
michel@michel:~/Download$

I mean, java directory is there... How did i do that? I made ALL the files EVERYONE on internet would suggest me to create: .bash_profile , .bashrc , java.sh... Do u wanna take a look at those? Here it goes:

This is /etc/profile (the initial part of the file):

# /etc/profile: This file contains system-wide defaults used by
# all Bourne (and related) shells.

# Set the values for some environment variables:
export MINICOM="-c on"
export MANPATH=/usr/local/man:/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man
export HOSTNAME="`cat /etc/HOSTNAME`"
export LESSOPEN="|lesspipe.sh %s"
export LESS="-M"
# Added for Java access (Limewire wasnt finding it)
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/j2re1.4.2_03
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:.
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$JAVA_HOME/man:.
export CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib:.


This is java.sh:

# This file was manually created by Madness, so that he could install
# LimeWire


#This was suggested at
#http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp...essage=1965368

#JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re...yourversion
#export JAVA_HOME
#PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
#export PATH

#So in my case, this would be:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/j2re1.4.2_03
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export PATH
export CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib


Finally, .bash_profile and .bashrc (they are identical). Those are at /home/michel/

# Manually created file to run LimeWire...

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/j2re1.4.2_03/bin:.
export CLASSPATH=/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/lib:.
