If you indeed have Java installed, then don't botter installing Limewire rpm. Go to the download page and grab the "Other (OS/2, Solaris, Linux)" package.

Uncompress it with:

unzip LimeWireOther.zip

Go into the uncompressed directory "LimeWire" and from inside there you will see that you have a file called LimeWire.jar right? That's an executable jar file. Run it with:

java -jar LimeWire.jar

If Java is correctly installed, everything should work as expected. You might want to move that folder to a more appropriated place, such as /usr/local/limewire and then create a shortcut on your desktop to make your life easier. Otherwise you will need to run java -jar /path/to/limewire/limewire.jar everytime.

Good luck!

If you have java installed and you wish to install LimeWire from rpm, then do

Code:

#rpm -Uvh --nodeps LimeWire.rpm

Whoever wrote the spec file for the LimeWire rpm messed up on the java dependency.
