When I installed LimeWire by clicking on the RPM file and tried to run it it said no java path found.
Thinking I may have a bad download, I re-downloaded and tried again. It said: Everything already installed.
I used updatedb and slocate to find every LimeWire file and directory on my machine.
I used rm -rf to remove all of these files.
I then tried to install Lime Wire again and received the same message.
I searched the forums without success other than to discover how to set the PATH, which probably would have solved my initial problem.
How do I get around this?
Please leave answer on the 'bottom shelf' for non-techies like me.
TIA

did you remove the /home/yourName/.limewire directory?

if you didn't, then try rm -rf ~/.limewire and then try to install again

I dont really see why removing this directory would make a difference. But then again, I dont really see why you get that message after removing Limewire either. But it's worth a try.

>> did you remove the /home/yourName/.limewire directory? <<

Yes, nothing remains named limewire except the RPM file in my download folder

Make sure you have the java rpm installed as an rpm and then try installing the limewire rpm after making sure that your .bash_profile has a path to java that is similar to what Linux~Powered posted and you have logged out of your system and back in again. If it still complains that java is missing and you have it installed, try doing

rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps LimeWire.rpm

>>> rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps LimeWire.rpm <<<

Thanx, I think. That did get it installed

>> rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps LimeWire.rpm <<

That did indeed install LimeWire

>> export PATH="/usr/lib/path/to/java" <<

What finally worked was adding this to my .bash_profile
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jre1.5.0_01/bin

I added this before:
export PATH
unset USERNAME

Works great! Thanks to all.

Kool, I'm glad you got that sorted out.
