Originally posted by AMDPwred I've tried both kza and ./kza. Neither of them worked. ./kza gave me this error (./kza: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory)
You're using the right command syntax (./kza), and the installer is executing, but it is complaining because it looks for version 4 of the ncurses package. Unfortunately, Redhat 7.1 ships with version 5.
The problem is equivalent to installing a program in Windows which needs older verions of certain dlls or drivers than the ones you currently have on your system.
Read through the responses in this thread, especially reply #5 for a possible fix.

Right. That's because the directory in which the "kza" program lives is not in your PATH variable. Linux works like DOS in that respect: when you just type the name of a program to execute it, both OS's search the directories listed in the PATH statement for the program in question. If the system can't find the program in one of those directories, it won't be able to execute it unless you provide the fully-qualified pathname.
When you execute the program from within the directory in which it resides, putting "./" in front of the program name tells Linux "Hey! Don't look at PATH, just look in this directory, the program is right here."
gnutella does support resuming in a way. if you are downloading a file of a certain name and it breaks, and you then try to download another file of exactly the same name and size, then it'll continue. my stars wars return of the jedi came from 3 different places, and the joins are nonexistent. gtk-gnutella is cool
and to clear it up a bit, ,both Limewire and gtk-gnutella are clients for the gnutella network, as are bearshare, gnut, gnotella and dozens of others. gnutella originally WAS a program by itself, but was only availiable for 2 days, and was written bby justin frankel who does winamp / nullsoft. it's still possibile to get that file tho, gnutella-0.56 for windows, which is very very similar to gtk-gnutella, as that's the whole point...
I dont know from where you guys got the "bash" command from but i can get all my Binary install files to intall with this comnmand;
Cd into the dir using the cd commands and cd ../ to go up one level.
Once inside the directory all you have to type is "sh LimeWireLinux.bin" and it will start up Limewire install but if you dont have jAVA vIRTUAL machine installed it will complain and not let you install the thing. But after you install Java VM make sure you add it to your path post here if you need any more help installing LimeWire, but i would try using Gnutella its more simple but loads much faster and basically gets the job done without any spyware like LimeWire has built in.
