SuSE 8.0 and LimeWire
 

Hey There:

Has anyone out there managed to get LimeWire running on SuSE8.0? I have j2re1.4.0_01 in /usr/local. LimeWire seems to install, but it says some errors occured. When I try to run the program it says:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/swing/jDialog
at
at RunLime.showInternalError (unknown Source)
at RunLime.main(Unknown Source)
at com.zerog.lax.LAX.launch(Unknown Source)
at com.zerog.lax.LAX.main(Unknown Source)

Any thoughts on this? As you can see, I'm not a Linux savant, just a Linux fan who would really like to get this working.Thanks

Rob

A Hunch
 

How are you executing LimeWire?
Anyone of these?

1). sh runLime.sh
2). java -jar RunLime.jar
3). java -jar LimeWire.jar

A Total Shock
 

This is a total shock but at least it has my name there.

Same Error
 

I also get the same error, has anyone figured this one out?

Thanks

exact same problem...would appreciate any help..Thanx

Just An Idea.....
 

Do any of you guys think that maybe Suse is using the system version of java which supports java1.1.8? Remove or change the symbolic link from that java to the version that you hopefully downloaded and installed already.

Sound's like a good idea! How do I manage that ?

I have SuSE 8.0 and all I had to do is download blackdown java
here: http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/mirrors.html It really works!! Enjoy!!

jardon@linux:~/LimeWire> sh LimeWire
No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH
environment variable. You must install a VM prior to
running this program.

I friggin downloaded 1.4.1 vm and its not fing working linux is pissin me off help please

Getting path the VM not in Path message
 

export PATH=$PATH:/{wherever you installed it}java/bin

needs to be added to your path statement to get rid of the JM not in path error. Just substitude {where you installed it} with your path. Mine was /usr/java/j2re1.4.1/bin so that makes my statement:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/bin

After that you're on your own if you have SUSE 8.0! I can't get LimeWire to work on Suse 8.0! Everyone's getting this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: lax/nl/java/option/java/stack/

If anyone gets past this, please let me know.
