Having trouble...

[usncta]

I am new to linux... I am using the RedHat Fedora version of it. I have installed Java onto my system and I am now tryin to get Limewire to install. I've downloaded the .zip file in the "Other" link and the .rpm for linux. I go to install it and get the error in the terminal saying "error: can't create transaction lock." Im not sure what to do there... any help would be appreciated.

in order to install RPM files you need to become root first. To do that type "su" and supply your root password.

I have and still no luck. it either says it is installed or it isn't. but i found the file that it "installed" and im not sure how to run it now.

I just updated the sticky post on the top of this thread with instructions how to get Limewire running after this point.
