I've been trying to get limewire installed for a few days, and have been reading the posts here, many of which were very helpful. The installer now gets much farther along before going Tango Uniform on me!

Here is where I am at:

I went into the LimeWireLinux.bin file to see if anything made sense ... of course, it didn't. It seems to be getting past the whole, "where is your Java" issue that I had before I read the other threads, but I can't figure out what is making this error?

Ideas?

if its the java? do u have java install? local? or system wide? if either is yes, then u have 2 set the path in ur home dir. in the .bashrc file

or have u done this?

I'm having this same issue as well...

I have java installed in /usr/java

I am having a smiliar error...

[spooky31@localhost spooky31]$ '/home/spooky31/Desktop/LimeWireLinux.bin'

Any Clues.

Hmmm cant help you sort out your problems, but I would recomend GTK-Gnutella...It is a very good P2P client that runs on the same netowrk as limewire..

First off, thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm really stuck here and any help would be appreciated.

Yes, I had edited the .bashrc file, as so;

When I went back to double check, I did find one type-o and fixed that, but I still get the same error. Any other ideas?

Thanks again.

you could always try gtk-gnutella....it communicates with Limeware, Bearshare, and others...


Personally, a better solution, that will work with fedora....

ok dude u kind of got it right here is mine take a look
c anything different????


# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_05/bin:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_05/bin
export PATH
export JAVA_HOME

I only get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/zerog/lax/LAX

When Im not /root. When I am in as /root and I try it I get this:

Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...
No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH
environment variable. You must install a VM prior to
running this program.

Now I have edited my .bash_profile to read the following:

# .bash_profile

#Get user aliases and functions

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_05/bin:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_05/bin
export PATH
export JAVA_HOME
unset USERNAME

Still getting the error stating that no Java Virtual Machine could be from my PATH environment table..

Any Clues..

:Note: Im running mandrake 10

This may or may not be off topic slightly, but what does the
line do?

Ok ... I added the colon to the end of the line, which is the only difference I noted.
Same result... any other ideas where to look.

Thanks for your help!

ok ok the only thing that i can think of is that where did u install java? make sure it is install and make sure u have the dynamic or symbolic link i forget whats it called, 2 ur browser? maybe that has something 2 do with it, n dude i also got limewire install on a mdk10 machine

n yeah what does the unset username do what does that line do? maybe remove c if it works dunno

Ok quick newbie uqestion, as I am going through certain situations with certain programs. I do not have write permission to edit certain files. How do I give myslef complete read-write privelages on my Linux Box..

type su

then your root password.. this makes you the root user

chmod 777 "filename" , this gives you, root, all read write privalges , or as root , chown "user to give ownership to" "filename" , dont use the """" though

true but this thread is different, but still a valid question.

N dude if ur not 2 comfortable with text mode, than u can just open up a terminal or konsol, type su pass, then ur browsers Exampl Konqueror than u can change permission GUI mode hehehehehe
