Dear Twist and Thread please ignore my last post.



All is well and all manner of thing shall be well.



I changed my .bash_profile to incorp usr/java/jre### as advised in this and other threads, I then logged out and then I checked

java -version a

and got

jre###



OK.



After that sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin installed just fine in the Limewire directory. (I have not advanced to the sh.runlime class yet as per Twist hyperlink recommended install, as per the Fox thread)



I had tried this before on two occasions and for the record of any other dummies like me reading this I made the following mistakes.



1. The first time I had not removed kaffe's java.

ie rpm -e kaffe

as per Twist advice on this thread



2. The second time after I had removed kaffe and changed the bash_profile path I had not logged off and back on! DUMB. But I am an utter newbie. (see Thread for Hypnos re JRE excute command and Twist advice ofcourse)



Hope my incompetence is of some help to others and saves Twist from RSI of the thread.


Oh, and re anyone else being confused about Java names as I was.

JDK is the prior name for what is now J2SE. JRE is just the runtime environment stuff to run jave in and J2SE is JRE plus a set of tools and things for the Java genius. So ignore red herrings in this thread about JDK is all you need. It is JRE.


Now I am off to p2p.
