After installing JVM, I tried installing LimeWire. This is what I got:

ANyone got any ideas?? I must say I am rather new to linux..But , I would be grateful to any suggestions..

Ok, I have the same thing. This is what i've found...libXp.so.6 does not exist, it is usually in usr/X11R6/lib/ but its not there I think libXpm.so.4 replaced it. I also found that FC3 has deprecated this file but I've heard that its hidden somewhere in CD2 with all the XORG stuff. I'll keep at it.

I've been to busy to really work on a solution lately. I appreciate the response, let me know what you find, and I will try to pick at it when I can.

What version of java are you using coz the new jdk 1.5 works well for me and I have installed LimeWire on a few fedora Core 3 desktops without any problems.

Yes I believe its that. If you are using anything less then 1.5, java looks for that file that is no longer used in FC3. If you change to 1.5 it should work. I haven't tried it yet but Its a good bet it'll work. Make sure you delete the old version of java and have to correct path to the new won. I find it helpful to use the .bin file instead of .rpm.bin because you have more control. Just extract the file in the opt folder. and change your path in the .bash_profile in your home directory.

The 1.5 works fine.. Thanx a bunch everyone.
