Suse 9.1
 

Can someone pls guide me through either installing or compiling Limewire on this OS? I have installed SUSE 9.1 on here and downloaded the rh9.ymessenger rpm I also have the one labeled as otherr downloaded on here just in case it is the one I am suspose to use. As you can probably tell, I am extremely new to linux, I used Linspire 4.5 for awhile but was easy because I had a months subscription to damn CNR which downloads and installs programs automatically. Very nice tool, to bad it does not stick to the Linux theory of free :( . So then I tried to manually install Limewire on Linspire after I had to format it and reinstall Linspire on it due to complications. I figured just do it as debian linux since that is all Linspire is, but alas, no .deb file for Limewire and could not figure out how to get/install/use alien. I just need the commands to install Limewire on SUSE 9.1 if anyone can assist me pls. I figure this will be a nice little OS to learn a little of linux on. I tried rpm -i LimeWireLinux.rpm and I get this error message:


linux:~/Desktop/install # rpm -i LimeWireLinux.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
j2re >= 1.4.1 is needed by LimeWire-free-4.9.37-0


not sure what all this means but does not sound good to me. Any help would be great....thank you

You have to install java first. It is recommended you only use sun java. I would suggest the Linux RPM in Self-extracting File for you. Their site provides install instructions.
