I get this if I try to run limewire... I'm running FC4 w/fluxbox

GC Warning: Out of Memory! Returning NIL!
Exception in thread "main" GC Warning: Out of Memory! Returning NIL!

It looks like you don't have enough RAM. What is the output of the 'free' command when this happens? What version of java are you using?

RAM looks OK. What version of java are you using? You might need to upgrade. Also this from Fedora

Quote:

6.1.8. Java Package Recommendations
Fedora Core 4 users are advised not to use the Java RPM provided by Sun. It contains Provides that conflict with names used in packages provided as part of Fedora Core 4. Because of this, Sun Java might disappear from an installed system during package upgrade operations.

Fedora Core 4 users should use either the RPM from jpackage.org or manually install the Sun Java tarball into /opt. Sun Java 1.5+ is recommended for stability purposes.

That's all I've got. You might want to try Google if this isn't the problem.

Thanks, ill give that a shot! I did get gtk-gnutella working somewhat though, so I may just stick with that.
