In Redhat 7.2:
Even though you install the RPM of Sun's JRE there is STILL an OLD java in /usr/bin so I did this:
(as root)
mv /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/java.old
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.3.1_02/bin/java /usr/bin/java

Basically this moves and renames the non-working java to java.old, then makes a symbolic link to the java we want to use.

Limewire worked right away :-)

YOu wouldn't have to do that at all if you put $JAVA_HOME/bin in front of all yiour other path statements like so:

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

altoine.
