Try:
sh /usr/LimeWire/LimeWire

altoine.

P.S. I'm receiving similiar using gentoo. I will try to locate the problem if I can and post a solution to that. Something to do with the terminals.

I get a no such file or directory when i try that...perhaps because it's LimeWire.jar?

thanks again (and this thread has been a great resource!)
will

That is weird. I just installed it on my system again to double check. I have it under the directory where I installed LimeWire. I noticed in your first post that runLime.sh was referenced under /usr/LimeWire. You can use LimeWire.jar just run this command:

java -jar LimeWire.jar

altoine

program works! thanks so much for the help. I still need to "source ~/.bash_profile" before i run the .jar file...anyway around this? this is a minor problem, though. i can just write a script for myself if need be.
great work!

Your welcome and thank you for the positive feedback. In regards to having to run source .bash_profile for every terminal, the solution depends on what WM(Window Manager) you use.

If you use KDE, add "--login" at the beginning of the startkde script like so:

#!/bin/bash --login

That should fix your problem in KDE. I am currently trying to find a solution for openbox/fluxbox/blackbox (my preferred WM of choice).

I get the following errors when trying to install Limewire on my system. It is a shared system and as such i have limited access. I can only write to my home directory and very little else.

Which java version are you using? I suggest you try downloading and installing Sun's latest JRE.

Follow these instructions:

1.) Download the latest sun java jre to your home directory.

2.) Unpack the sun package (sh +javajrepackagenamehere+.bin)

3.) Unpack the sun java jre tarball (tar -xzvf +javajrepackagenamehere+.tar.gz)

4.) Make note of the newly created java directory (ie ls $HOME/j2re **Replace jre with the actual name of the directory** This is to insure that the path is valid).

5.) Edit your .bash_profile or .bashrc file and point the $JAVA_HOME path to your java directory located in your home directory (ie /home/nonrootuser **Of course, replace "nonrootuser" with the name of the home directory for the account you are making changes).

6.) Add your "$JAVA_HOME/bin" first into your $PATH statement and place "/usr/bin" at the end. You might have to remove "/usr/bin" totally from your $PATH statement if the above suggestion of putting it at the end doesn't work.

7.) Save and then run:

source .bashrc or .bash_profile.

8.) Then you can install LimeWire as usual.

I'm running Mandrake 9.2, and your solution worked for me. Thanks!
