I've installed LimeWire but can't quite get it to work. Once I get it going I get the LimeWire splash screen but then I get this:

anyone know ?

Thank you.

What version of java are you using? You can check this by doing "java -version" in Konsole or gnome-terminal.

I typed java -version and got this:

java version "1.4.2_00"
java full version "kaffe-1.4.2"

kaffe VM "1.1.x-cvs"

Thanx.

Use Sun java 1.5 or 1.6 and I am sure LimeWire will work fine. Linux packages are available from java.sun.com.

Although it says I have Java version 1.4, I downloaded 1.5 but Linux told me I already had it installed.

?

I was waiting for an answer but you already gave it in another thread.

You just made my Christmas list my friend.
