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

That doesn't really help me....I did that....and I did it again after I read your post just to be sure. It's almost like there is a bug in the actual LimeWire bin/script file. It is throwing a java exception right? Which tells me that Java is installed correctly and can be "seen" ok (i.e. $PATH is set). But LimeWire crashes. Any other ideas?
hmmm.....I just realized that when I type "java" it's actually running a bash script found in /usr/bin/java that calls "gij" behind the scenes. This appears to be some sort of "non-sun" wrapper. Could this be the problem?
download and install the full developer kit from IBM this will allow you to use some other cool software like JPhotoBrush( a little buggy but easy to use). And you never know maybe you will want to develope your own J2EE client server app someday.
SAWEET...ok I've got it working, here's what I did. I renamed all of the "java" stuff (java, javac and javah) to "gnu_java" so that the java executed would be the one found in the j2re directory and not /usr/share/java.
Then I redownloaded the LimeWire.bin file (this was probably the biggest problem as it appears my download was corrupt). I'm installing it now as I write this.

Rep:
You should try going in your .bash_profile file and adding the path to the java executable to the $PATH variable. That way you can run limewire w/out specifying the path to java.
I'm Having same Problems as JimDog I get this error posted on the end of this post, He said he fixed it but I have no Idea how he did it, can anyone explain what he did and how he did it? I really Need Help Thank You.
