Did I successfully install Java?

How can I tell if I have Java installed? I used yum in FC3 to install Java on my system and it said was 100% but then I installed Limewire RPM file and Limewire will not start. I know Limewire is Java dependant but I don't know if its Java that is forked or Limewire?

I see a Java icon under Preferences and then I downloaded a Java RPM for FC3 and get this error.

Code:

[root@server carlos]# rpm -Uvh j2re-1.4.2-11.1.fc3.rf.i586.rpm

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

        package j2re-1.4.2-11.1.fc3.rf is already installed

Any suggestions on how I can see if Java is working for me or how to see what the deal with Limewire P2P is?

Perhaps it would help more to post the errors generated when you attempt to launch limeware.

Launch it from an x terminal and you can see, copy and paste the errors so we can see them.

updatedb
locate java | grep \/bin\/

from a shell:
java<enter>

Cheers,

also check to see if java's bin is in your path

echo $PATH

/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/zymos/scripts/:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_01/bin/

that can be a source of java problems

to add it add
PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_01/bin/

in .bashrc or .bash_profile

with ur java location of course

What does this mean?

check if you have a library called /usr/X11R6/lib/libXp.so.6
check if xorg-x11-deprecated-libs (check using rpm -qi xorg-x11-deprecated-libs)
if its not there install it and then try.

We released a new RPM today that should address this problem, or at least give more information about what may have gone wrong. Please give it a try.

zab == RedHat official? :)

no, I work for Lime Wire LLC and I built the rpm.

Well .. welcome to LQ, and thanks for fixing the thing ;)

Cheers,

So what I guess you're saying is that I need to remove the RPM I installed and redownload and install the new RPM on Limewires site?

I don't know how I remove the old RPM I installed. Can someone tell me how I can do this? I do see a Limewire icon under "Applications > Internet"
