whenever i try to install Limewire i'm getting an error message saying:

"No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH
environment variable. You must install a VM prior to
running this program.

I've installed Java. Someone please help me.

You need to put the java /bin directory in your PATH. Just installing it isn't enough. You can put something like the following in your .bashrc file

PATH=$PATH:/path/to/java/bin

And please learn to use the search button. This is one of the most commonly asked questions here.

where is the .bashrc file located?

in your home directory.. if your using KDE, Gnome or anything like that you might need to set it to show hidden files...

And if there isn't a .bashrc, you can just create one with a text editor. Vid is right in that you need to run ls -a to see if it is there since all files starting with a . are "hidden"
