Limewire complains I don't have J2RE


I have J2RE 1.4.2 installed, but YaST and Apt are always complaining that Limewire requires J2RE >= 1.4.1
Is there a way I can get my system to recognize J2RE 1.4.2?

You need to add it to the $PATH. Edit /etc/profile (to make it system wide) or /home/<your user>/.bash_profile (only for your user) and add a commabd like the following in the last lines :

PATH="/where/is/your/jre/thingy:$PATH"
export $PATH


then type a command like : "source /etc/profile" (or .bash_profile, depending which one you changed) to load the new config without relogging/rebooting

if you have your PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variable set up, and yast or apt is still complaining about your jre, force the install and ignore dependencies. I don't know how package installation in yast or apt is done, but the straight rpm command would be:

rpm --force --nodeps limewire_install.rpm

Limewire will work with java 1.4.2_XX.

Where is it usually installed? I just used an RPM, and I have no idea where to look.

if you installed it, the type limewire in a shell term. I believe it's in /usr/bin.

LimeWire shows up in the menu as Peer to Peer in the internet submenu.

Perhaps I should rephrase that. Where is the Java runtime environment installed?

try /usr/java

but that depends on which package you downloaded. If you downloaded the rpm in the self-extracting archive, then that's the place the rpm will install your jre.

If you downloaded the other package, then you need to copy the extracted directory somewhere. The installation is dependent on you.
