Mandrake/Limewire Insaniity
 

Hey does anyone actually know how to install Limewire on Mandrake Linux 10.0? I am loosing my mind and if I dont get it right I am gonna end up on the dark side of the moon. Why is it so frikking difficult to install! If You are gonna respond to this please make sure you have done it before and it has installed well on your compie.
"virtuall machine installation first not in path of Limewire." I am not the only person with this problem. I've been all over the net...its an epidemic! Couldn't Limewire create one especially for Mandrake?

You should go to

http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

and dowload the linux rpm (jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin)

download it to your user's home directory
(/home/your-user)

run this line in the console

chmod a+x jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin

and then

./jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin

The installation file creates jre-1_5_0-linux-i586.rpm file in the current directory.

you can click on the rpm , and use the default application to install tthe JVM

or you can install it typing:
rpm -iv jre-1_5_0-linux-i586.rpm

then
PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/bin

Finally download LimeWireLinux.bin to

/home/your-user

type
chmod a+x LimeWireLinux.bin

and now you can start the Limewire installation
./LimeWireLinux.bin

It Worked! Mandrake/limewire
 

RompeRatones,
Hey tnx man. It frikkin worked. I Thought i was gonna go out of my head getting it installed. I have been on sites and forums and nothing until now. I am still going out of my head but this time with joy. Tnx again. If i could see u i would give u an award.
Not to forget but i didn't have to use some of the arguments. When i put them in it said that the arguments were few but i got through anyway. thanks again.
