This worked for me Redhat 7.2
 

I will take it to another level. I am using Mandrake 8.2 with Java blackdown version:

java version "1.3.1_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.3.1-04b-FCS)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.3.1_04b-FCS, mixed mode)

I put where I downloaded my j2sdk1.3.1-04b-FCS:

/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_04

into my PATH in my .bash_profile:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_04
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

After doing that, I remove kaffe from my system but I have a dependency problem with my wizard packages. I do this command to keep that program around:

rpm -e kaffe --nodeps

This removes all instances of kaffe binaries from /usr/bin.

I next create soft links to the /usr/bin directory but blackdown has most of all of it's java commands (ie java, javac, etc) as symbolic links. Some people´s configuration will not allow that many symlinks.
the symlinks point to a "hidden" file called .java_wrapper. So I link this to my /usrbin directory like so:

ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_04/bin/.java_wrapper /usr/bin/java

After doing that, I execute the LImeWireLinux.bin installer:

./LimeWireLinux.bin

Installation works. Program installed, running, and functional. I discovered that I had to install the program as user instead of trying to set it systemwide as root.

Seems Complicated
 

Go to Sun Microsystems and download the latest java client (RPM) for Linux.
:D ./j2re-1_4_0_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin
:D rpm -ivh j2re-1_4_0_01-linux-rpm
:D edit profile adding following text after the end of the current line starting with PATH= /usr/java/j2re1.4.0_01/bin

:D Log off and back on

:D D/L latest distro of LimeWire.Linx ... install it ./LimeWireLinux.bin

:D Browse to where you installed it ... usually /home/[user]/runLimeWire

:D Follow onscreen instructions.

Gee ... 7 steps ... not quite a 12 step program ... but I see what I can do to make the directions more complicated :rolleyes:
