Problem Installing Limewire - Received Errors While Installing
When trying to install Limewire, I get the following errors. It says that I need to install certain dependencies. How can I get all of these installed automatically without having to install them one by one?
x@xx:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i LimeWireLinux.deb Selecting previously deselected package limewire-basic. (Reading database ... 128920 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking limewire-basic (from LimeWireLinux.deb) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of limewire-basic: limewire-basic depends on sun-java6-jre | icedtea-java7-jre | sun-java6-jdk | icedtea-java7-jdk | sun-java5-jre | sun-java5-jdk; however: Package sun-java6-jre is not installed. Package icedtea-java7-jre is not installed. Package sun-java6-jdk is not installed. Package icedtea-java7-jdk is not installed. Package sun-java5-jre is not installed. Package sun-java5-jdk is not installed. dpkg: error processing limewire-basic (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: limewire-basic . |
The above error should tell it all. You dont have dependencies installed in your box to have limewire up and running. You first need to install the following:
Package sun-java6-jre Package icedtea-java7-jre Package sun-java6-jdk Package icedtea-java7- Package sun-java5-jre Package sun-java5-jdk |
This is only a suggestion since it has been a long time that I really _used_ Debian or Ubuntu - and it starts with a question:
Why do you use dpkg -i to install? I think the easier tool for this is apt-get or even the GUI (Synaptic) - both of these will take care of dependencies for you IIRC. |
