Installation problem LimeWire 2.3.2
 

I currently have installed (and working) the older LimeWire 2.2.3.

I downloaded the latest version 2.3.2 of LimeWire Pro for Linux
and attempted to install it, but am running into a succession of
errors as shown below.

Has anyone else experienced the same problem, or is it me?
If it's me, what am I doing wrong?

I'm running under Red Hat 7.1 (i686)

Attempting to run the installer with 'sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin' yields the error message:
java was not found in /usr/bin/jdk-1.1.6/../bin/Linux/green_threads/java

Resolving the double dots indicates it's looking in directory:
/usr/bin/bin/Linux/green_threads
whereas the directory containing java is:
/usr/bin/jdk-1.1.6/Linux/green_threads
So I added the link:
/usr/bin/bin -> /usr/bin/jdk-1.1.6

Running the installer again, I now get the error message:
/usr/bin/jdk-1.1.6/../bin/Linux/green_threads/java: error while loading shared libraries: libjava.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Now libjava.so happens to be in directory:
/usr/lib/jdk-/1.1.6/Linux/green_threads
So I added it to /etc/ld.so.conf and ran '/sbin/ldconfig'

Trying the installer again, I finally get the error message:
-Xmx50331648: illegal argument
Usage: java [-options] class
where options include:

Java
 

Make sure you have the required JRE version as well as the appropriate symbolic link to java in a directory in your path.

As far as I can see, I've got the right version of java in the right place:

$ which java
/usr/local/bin/java

$ /usr/local/bin/java -version
java version "1.3.1_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_02-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_02-b02, mixed mode)

$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Feb 25 19:43 /usr/local/bin/java -> /usr/java/jre1.3.1_02/bin/java

The LimeWire download page for the basic version says that java1.3.1 (JRE) is needed. I have LimeWirePro and the download page for it says nothing to the contrary.

I don't understand why the installer is looking for java in directory
/usr/bin/jdk-1.1.6/../bin/Linux/green_threads
which resolves to:
/usr/bin/bin/Linux/green_threads
