What says:

[snip]
[root@localhost craig]# PATH=$PATH:/j2re1.4.1_01/bin java -version
[/snip]

If there's already a JVM in $PATH then it will choose it instead of /j2re1.4.1_01/bin/java. Try

PATH=/j2re1.4.1_01/bin:$PATH sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin

i tryed this and i get the same thing...
PATH=/j2re1.4.1_01/bin:$PATH sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin

i tryed typing this in PATH=$PATH:/j2re1.4.1_01/bin java -version and i get: [craig@localhost craig]$ PATH=$PATH:/j2re1.4.1_01/bin java -version

i dont know if that will help to solve the problem

Ok, are you sure that /j2re1.4.1_01/bin exists? A correctly installed Sun JVM should return...

blub:~ roger$ java -version
java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141.3)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode)

The Kafee JVM (www.kaffe.org) doesn't work with LimeWire.

yes, j2re1.4.1_01/bin exists and i followd the java installation guid
i uninstalled kaffe (read it in another thread that it worked for some) and now i get this message when i type java -version
Error: could not find libjava.so
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.

im thinking java may not be installed right???

Hmm, I'm myself not a Linux user so I can't help you with installation questions but the installation path looks very weird for me and 1.4.1_01 is an outdated 1.4 JVM (latest is iirc 1.4.2_06 or 1.5 aka Java 5.0).
