core dump when trying to run runlime.sh
 

I just downloaded limewire for the first time and I am not very impressed.





The problem I have is that when ever I try to run the software, I receive a core dump. The error displayed on the command line is:





Couldn't find or load essential class `java/lang/Object' java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError java/lang/Object




The core dump is too large to send via this forum as it is over 600K.




I have JRE 1.3.1 installed. In fact, de-installed it and re-installed it to see if that would correct the problem -- It Didn't.





OS = RedHat Linux Kernel 2.4.3-12 CPU=PIII Memory=300M





Please help.





Thanks.

Double check your Classpath. Make sure that you have the Java JRE files located there. This is usually the case in ANY java application. If you are using bash, just type env. If you should see a classpath variable, if you don't, you can create it by running set classpath=path/to/JRE/files. You may want to add it to your profile as well, so it is set on login

Mac OS 9.2 was running fine, now it quits before starting
 

Brand new G4/733 running 9.2. Limewire was working just dandy until I tried to start it today. Now I get a few seconds into the App starting screen, and it says:

"This Application has Unexpectedly Quit"
"Invocation of this Java Applet has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)" When I click Details it gives me:

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Initializer.b(Initializ er.java:71)
at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Main.main(Main.java:16)

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java)

I'm not sure if I've tried to run it since a few days ago when the SW Updater told me to get "MacOS Runtime for Java" 2.2.5.

Kevin,



Thanks for your replly. I added a CLASSPATH=/opt/limewire (which is where the classes are located for lime. I keep getting the following error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/swing/JOptionPane



It seems like I am missing a path to the default java runtime environment cleasses supplied by sun with the JRE. I have reinstalled the JRE from the .rpm but do not know where the file(s) were placed, or if there even is such a thing.



Could that be the problem?

hey I got LimeWire to work on FreeBSD (unix), so you should get it to work in Linux. I install jre for FreeBSD which is only java 1.8.1 or something like that. the runlime.sh file was
java -cp . RunLime


so I installed linux-jdk13 (Linux Java Development Kit version 1.3.1) which is the Java 2 (J2RE) stuff.

just changed java to javavm and LimeWire worked.


to locate things try the command whereis

ex: whereis java
whereis javavm
