most packages/programs are installed in the /usr directory.. or /usr/local, depends on the program. read the readme or install file and it will tell you.. usually a program is run by typing in the program name after installing it..

so if im in gnome on suse 7.3 i type the name of the program in the console thing?

if you installed it to the default location then try this

cd /usr/local/LimeWire

then this

./runLime.sh

or this

sh ./runLime.sh

depends on what you have.

the later one will work for about everyone

the first one will work for most.

you should not run programs from Nautilus

I dont really understand what Nautalis is..can you explain..and where to i type those commands to run the programs in the console or in the termianl?

you have to be in Xwindows to run limewire.

open an xterm in Xwindows and type in there.

something tells me you still need to install limewire.
