Unhappy red hat 7.1 installation help

I've installed this packege on my red hat 7.1:
jre-1.3.1_02-fcs
vm-6.96-1
but whene i launch the LimeWire.bin i receive this error:
No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH
environment variable. You must install a VM prior to
running this program.
Are that packages the right ones?
I need help please answer to my problem.
Thank you

Open the .bin file in a text editor and add the path to your installation of jave...thats how far I am, now I have to figure out out to tell it what lanuage I want. this seems to be a huge task for such a "user-friendly" product.

Have no fear your solution is here. Go to my thread, "The Solution to All Install Problems" and let me know your mileage.

Sincerely,

Thumbs up

Listen to Altoine, he knows what he's talking about. I fought with installation on RedHat 7.2 for about 3 hours before coming here. I had installed the JVM and the whole nine yards, but it still wouldn't install. I then followed his directions, and it installed flawlessly.

Step 1: Make sure you're trying to install from a normal user account, NOT root. If you're installing as root it will not work.

Step 2: Edit your .bash_profile, adding these lines (this is from my install):

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.3.1_03
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Step 3: Create a symbolic link to /usr/java/jre1.3.1_03/bin/.java_wrapper from /usr/bin/java. My system already had a file /usr/bin/java, so I deleted it and did the symbolic link:

ln -s /usr/java/jre1.3.1_03/bin/.java_wrapper /usr/bin/java

Step 4: Change to the owner of the install script (if necessary) and run it. It'll run flawlessly, and you'll then have Limewire on your system.
