Ok, I downloaded the 'latest build' sources from
http://www.limewire.org/project/www/download.html, downloaded ant in order to compile, since it was not on my system, got the PATH's and everything pointing to the correct places so ant would run, and ran the ./compile scripts in the core and gui folders of the source package.
Both compiled without error (merely a handful of warnings). The readme's say running the ./run script should Limewire running, yet ./run returns
Code:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: RunLime
Running 'java RunLime' as the readme also suggests brings up a dialog stating:
Code:

I know questions like this probably get asked time and time again, but a quick search through the forums revealed nothing (and I'm still trying to get my winmodem on my new system running properly, so I've had enough of hunting down TFM to RTFM, please accept my apologies if I've overlooked something ludicrously simple...)
I have one of the more recent java sdk's (the directory is labeled '...1.4.0_01'), and if it makes any difference I'm running Slackware 8.1.
Thanks in advance,
