Placing a shortcut on LimeWire
 

Hi there,

here some instructions on creating a shortcut to limewire:

(1) Create a file (you can name it anyway you like) in your home directory (or somewhere else) with the following statement:
"cd /<complete path to LimeWire> && sh runlime.sh"
(e.g. cd /home/myhome/LimeWire && sh limewire.sh"

(2) mark the created file as an executable:
"chmod 700 <filename>"

(3) Create a standard shortcut on this file by right-clicking on the desktop, chosing a fitting name and entering the path.

(4) Click the shortcut to start LimeWire...

Hope this helped,

Jochen

i had limewire installed/running fine until just the other day when i installed star office(at least that's what i think is causing the prob). anyways, when i try to start limewire now i get an error:

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
please send this error to bugs@limewire.com

that pops up in a little window. when i installed star office it seemed to find the java i had installed and said it could live with it/wouldn't need to install any java stuff. do i need to go and reinstall jre 1.3.1?

Does anyone know what utility I should use to uncompress downloaded Java's *.bin file?

The Troubleshooting FAQ has been updated. Go to question 2-7. :-)

.bin files
 

try this at command prompt

sh what_ever.bin

you might need to su to root to do this
