Getting the right java version...
 

Well I did indeed have the wrong version installed, odd, having multiple jre instances running, oh well, but now that I have the correct version running, I am now getting this error...
Launching installer...

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.noClassDefFoundError: com/zerog/lax/LAX

What in the world...

I Have The Solution To All Install Problems
 

Because of the number of views to this thread and the fact that 9 out of 10 had success. I am posting here to take care of that other ten percent as well. The person with the working suggestions was so close to what I had to suggest that I thought he had cut and pasted my solution to this thread but the date of his post quickly vouched for his originality and authorship. Like I said "close" but not exact. My solution is the "be-all-end-all" of all installation woes. I know as I have four distributions of linux installed on one computer. That allows me to test and fine tune my methods for multiple distributions. The methods I speak of are listed in my own thread titled, "The Solution to All Install Problems". I've posted many times throughout this forum because this program is truly worth the effort. I have tried napshare and gtk-gnutella of the linux persuasion as well as morpheus and kazaa of the windows xp persuasion. Kazaa is the best for my needs and second is limewire if I had to compare all gnutella programs, regardless of OS.

how can i remove the older versions of Java?

rpm -e kaffe --nodeps

if it is a rpm package.

rm -fr /usr/java/j2sdk1.2.1

if it was installed by tarball (tar.gz or tar.bz2)

Enjoy.

Great i got it, Im running Suse 8.0 and I had to delete a couple of directories in /usr/lib directory (sunjava1 and sunjava1.1.8)
Then I installed 1.3.1 (rpm)
Next I ran SuSEconfig
and LimeWire installed smoothly

Great news!

Limewire Still Won't Install
 

Hi...

OK, I've read through the faqs, I'm running the right version of Java (ok, it's 1.3.1_03-b03 instead of 02, but surely that won't matter), and Limewire _still_ won't install.

Here's my error message:

Launching installer...

Re: Limewire Still Won't Install
 

Sounds like you have java in your /usr/bin pointing to another directory. Try this link to solve your problems:
