Java failed dependency and LimeWire Pro

92b16vx · #1 (**permalink**) July 8th, 2005

I am getting this in the terminal while trying to install LimeWire Pro...

Code:

[root@localhost john]# rpm -ivh LimeWireLinux.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        j2re >= 1.4.1 is needed by LimeWire-pro-4.8.1-0.i386

I have the latest jre 1.5.0_04 installed, moved to /opt, everything is working, Azureus even works, it checks out good on all Java sites. IS this saying that I need to actually get an older version of Java to install this? I was using the free version, but remembered that my link for Windows contained a Linux rpm. I am using Fedora Core 4.

Nobody?

install the rpm using the --nodeps switch like this:

rpm -Uvh --nodeps LimeWireLinux.rpm

Make sure its the beta RPM, otherwise it will not find Java.
