In a different thread I suggested using the tar ball instread of the installer. Check this thread:
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=30925

A note to limewire mods/developers: I think I have seen at least a couple of users posting errors from the installer like this:

tail: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1'
Try `tail --help' for more information.
LimeWireLinux.bin: line 326: [: `)' expected, found -z

I don't know much about the installer other than that it's built using zerog and that the executable archive chokes because it apparently expects a tail argument that doesnt exist (at least on some systems), and b/c of some shell syntax error. I also dont know if zerog uses the makeself script (http://www.megastep.org/makeself/) to generate the executable archives, but if so then there may be a bug in that.
