Hey i tried installing LimeWire but some java error keeps coming up...
i have already installed JVM (i used j2sdk1.4.1_02)...and set the path accordingly..it starts installing but as soon as i choose the language...an error pops up...can anyone help me out? I use a fedora core 2
I know this error I've dealt with it on a couple of occasions.
Don't install Limewire as root, in other words don't su in before you install it. All you need to do is put it in the directory you want it in and then type:
Code:
sh limewire.sh
A GUI should then appear and just follow the prompts.
can any body help me install limewire i need some really good explanation i just got lindows like 3 days ago and i been trying to run limewire for ever i downloaded it and its in my documents but i cant get it to start please help its drivin me crazy

Why don't you just install Limewire from Click n Run....to me that would be the logical thing to do.
Anyways, instead of posting again asking for help without any information....again....why not post back saying that the stuff mentioned before did not work
I think you need Java Runtime Environment, not SDK so make sure you have that (it should be in the same directory as j2sdk, it will be something like j2re_1.42_04).

Doesn't matter...SDK comes with a Virtual Machine, it should still work as long as your PATH is set to point at the bin subdirectory of the main Java directory
