![]() LimeWire and SuSE Linux HOW-TO --------------------------------- 1. make sure that Java2TM Runtime Environment, v 1.3.1 is installed.if not, go to: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/jre/ and download j2re-1_3_1-linux-i386-rpm.bin (size = 14,842,795 bytes) A. unpack bin file with command: sh j2re-1_3_1-i386-rpm.bin B. unpack rpm file with command: rpm -ivh jre-1.3.1.i386.rpm 2. Install Limewire unzip/untar the downloaded file from limewire.com - whatever directory you are currently in is where a new subdirectory LimeWire will be created. A. locate your path to the java executable. my current path (as of 9/10/2001) is: /usr/java/jre1.3.1_01/bin/java B. cd to the new LimeWire dir. open runlime.sh with any text editor. the line that reads: "java -classpath . RunLime" needs to be either commented out with a # and a new line added or edited to read: "/your/path/to/java -classpath . RunLime" ##!NOTE!## don't literally type "/your/path/to/java..." but use the location you found earlier in step 2.A be sure to save the modifications. 3. Run Limewire open a shell and at the prompt type: "sh runlime.sh" it should fire up if everything else was successful happy filesharing and please do share your files! --------------------------------- created by penguin 8/30/2001 edited by penguin 9/10/2001 penguin@cox-internet.com |
