.bin files?

123 Paul · 12-24-2003, 04:37 PM

I have just dowloaded limewire, and have got a file witha .bin extension, I am a newbie to linux, and never have come accross this type of file.

how do I install it? I am using mandrake 9.1

ok, I found the answer on the limewire site, but now I have another question

Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...
No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH
environment variable. You must install a VM prior to
running this program.

hellllp!!

google helps again! I have downloaded "kaffe" but when running the ./configure command I get this message

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more det

ok, what do I do now?

You probably need to install gcc

it's on your CD
And bin is an cd-image format btw, you don' need java for that.

why did it ask me for java then? should I burn the file to a cd?

which cd is GCC on? CD 3?

Go to your software installer in the Mandrake control center. Search for GCC. Select it when it finds it, hit install, and it will ask for the correct cd.
