Everyone who has trouble using LimeWire heed the following advice

Install/Unpack troubles
(1) Download jre 1.3.1! Follow the install guide posted by SUN:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive...all-linux.html
HOWEVER be careful with the filenames! The description is for jre 1.3.0 you'll need jre 1.3.1!

(2) Running LimeWire under Linux:
at the shell run: "sh runlime.sh"

(3) Running LimeWire while you have yet another version of Java installed (very common, especially under SuSE)
(3.1) Locate the "java executable". If you installed via rpm, this should be found under:
/usr/java/jre1.3.1/bin/java otherwise use locate to locate the java file ("locate java |grep bin" unless you want to get 1000 hits and "updatedb" to get a current database)
In any case the "java" file should be a link to ".java_wrapper"!
(3.2) Try running Limewire at the shell with:
"J2SE_PREEMPTCLOSE=1; export J2SE_PREEMPTCLOSE"
followed by
"/usr/java/jre1.3.1/bin/java -classpath . RunLime"
(3.3) If this works (and thio _should_ work) you should edit the "runlime.sh" file and replace
"java -classpath . RunLime" with the last statement to point the system to the correct location of the "java" version you want to use.

Best wishes and please _share the files_ don't just grab'em!

Jochen
