Ok, so i've tried to install limewire before, had the same problem, then just decided to use gtk-gnutella. Ive had some luck with it, but i just want to experiment with limewire out of curiousity. Can someone help with this?:

[root@localhost drof]# sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin

I 've installed sun sdk java deal, i know it works because it works with mozilla. help?

You have to include /usr/java/j2reversionnumber/bin to your path in .bash_profile

Edit .bash_profile as root.

After that create symbolic links to the java executables in /usr/bin

# cd /usr/bin
# ln -s /usr/java/j2reversionnumber/bin/* /usr/bin

It should work now, to check

# su to normal user
$ which java

You should get something like

[user@localhost user]$ which java
/usr/bin/java

ok sounds good, but how do i go about editing my .bash profile?

you don't have to be root to edit a .bash_profile. To edit it just open the terminal and type in "<text editor> .bash_profile" it sould look something like this

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/bin

export PATH
unset USERNAME

[drof@localhost drof]$ <text editor> .bash_profile
bash: text: No such file or directory

This is what I meant when I said "Edit .bash_profile"
I use kedit, so replace <text editor> with whatever text editor you wanna use.
I would type
$ kedit .bash_profile
