I installed Limewire on Linux (Ubuntu) twice. each time it installs properly by I get this error whenever I try to run it.

./runLime.sh: 44: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "}")

Any Ideas???

While installing Limewire, I just encountered this problem.

You can just edit the small script and change the offending "sh" to "bash".

Yes, it works !

Just simply edit the limewire file by typing

sudo gedit /usr/bin/limewire

and then change one time the word "sh" in "bash" like this :

#!/bin/bash
cd /usr/lib/LimeWire
bash runLime.sh

Save and re-launch limewire. It works ! :-)

I've made the same edit to my copy of /usr/bin/limewire, but it still crashes on startup, locking my entire desktop (Ubuntu 6.06). Any other ideas?
