I used Sun's J2SDK 1.4.0 beta 3. You must be sure to make sure your Java classpath is set correctly. Also, you MUST run LimeWire from the directory it is installed in (it took me two weeks to get it working.

I created a small file I can use to start it...in my home directory I have a file with contents...

cd LimeWire; sh ./runlime.sh

Hope that helps...
