How are you even able to install? I dont even know where to begin. Because linux sucks, .exe's dont work, but it seems the installation file is an .exe. and yes, i DID download both the other/linux, which i have extracted, and the linux rpm, which buggered up half-way through installing. So, what file do i open? |
The other/linux is a zip file which unzips a directory called LimeWire (imagine that) which contains a file runLime.sh which you execute with 'sh runLime.sh'. Oh and by the way, Linux doesn't suck, you do. You could have just read the README.txt file, its only 28 lines. |
Erm, that execute bit. Where exactly do you type 'sh runLime.sh'? |
From a terminal emulator (konsole, kterm, etc) or if you can just browse to the file (using konqueror, etc) or create a link from KDE or Gnome (right click on desktop->create new->file->link to application) or something similar. |
Well, i type the command into the console, but it just says that there is no such file or directory. And yes, I HAVE d-loaded and uncompressed it. |
The easiest thing to do is create the link, otherwise you need to be in the limewire directory and some linux os require you to type 'sh ./runLime.sh' instead. |
Well, i did what u said, but then what. Ive got that window that pops up. Earlier, i tried both sh runlime.sh and sh ./runlime.sh whilst in the folder, which didnt work. |
Linux is case-sensitive so it needs to be runLime, not runlime. I don't know what you mean by 'that window that pops up'. |
Yeah, im a total idiot. The capital L worked, and im just downloading the java thingy. |
F-ING HELL! I follow the steps n the java site for installing it, and get to the point where you type chmod a+x jre-1_5_0-linux-i586.bin into the console, where i'm told there's no such file/directory. And yes, ive renamed the installer to match the given filename. |
