Aha I'm running 2©4©2 on RH 7©1 but now you've reminded me that sun java 1©3x doesn't work unless you do this:

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2©2©5
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

Try typing that at the command prompt before you run limewire© If it works place the line in the java script in the jdk/bin dir
Sorry it's some time since I installed java and I forgot about the above©
