************************************************** ****************
Something went wrong with LimeWire.
Maybe you're using the wrong version of Java?
(LimeWire is tested against and works best with with Sun's JRE, Java 1.4+)
The version of Java in your PATH is:
java version "1.4.2"
jdkgcj 0.3.1 (http://www.arklinux.org/projects/jdkgcj)
gcj (GCC) 3.4.3 20050227 (Red Hat 3.4.3-22.fc3)

You are not following the instructions in the first post of this thread.

1. Install Sun Java from www.java.com
2. Install the latest beta RPM.

You could have saved yourself all this trouble had you followed them.

edit: insulting and vulgar language will not be tolerated in this forum. Thread closed.

According to your other post, you downloaded the latest "stable" version, not the latest beta. The instructions say to download the latest beta.
