Another LimeWire problem thread

[Zoist]

I haven't got the usual error a lot of people have had with java not being in the PATH.

Here is the strange error I get when running LimeWire.bin:

Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...

Launching installer...

I'm running Red Hat 8.

I found the problem! Basically it was having a link from java to /usr/bin/java that caused java programs not able to run.

Thanks any way.

i am having the same problem with limewire and jave how did you resolve it?:confused:

[Zoist]

I removed /usr/bin/java

[The_Witch_King]

there is no java anywhere in usr/bin. i had limewire installed before, but i just reinstalled rh 8.0. im still kinda new to linux. anyways ill keep serching. thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Limewire action, once the Java Runtime Environment is installed you will need to make a link.
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.3.1_04/bin/java /usr/bin/java. To test type 'java -version', if it shows
that you have the Java 2 RE installed then you are ready to install Limewire.
Change into the directory in which you downloaded Limewire and type sh./LimeWireLinux.bin.

What this means is that you need to have the java 2 runtime environment up and running. In the above example replace the jre1.3.1_04 with the version you have.
