Limewire won't start/out of memory error

Antarctica · 09-25-2006, 09:37 PM

I seem to have some difficulty starting Limewire. I downloaded Limewire via Yum Extender on Fedora Core 5. I forget which repository I downloaded it from (probably the extras repo). Anyway, I clicked on it in the menu and nothing would show up. So, I went to the terminal and ran "limewire" and got...

Code:

GC Warning: Out of Memory!  Returning NIL!
Exception during runtime initialization
java.lang.NullPointerException
   <<No stacktrace available>>

Then I ran "free" to see how much memory I got free.

Code:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        320620     265712      54908          0      12620     133168
-/+ buffers/cache:     119924     200696
Swap:      1310704      17520    1293184

If I have enough memory, how do I get Limewire to work? If not, how do I get more? Can somebody help me get Limewire to work?

Also, if somebody can help me... I installed Frostwire and it didn't work either, so I uninstalled it, but the menu shortcut didn't go away. Can someone help me remove the menu shortcut? Thank you.

I belive that is a message from the Java garbage collector. This leads me to believe it is a problem with your Java installation, or perhaps limewire itself.
