Startup error...

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:

STARTUP ERROR

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,
Stween

I'm using Mandrake 9.0 just off the press. I got the same problem with LimeWire. I've downloaded the j2re-1_4_1-linux-i586-rpm.bin to replace the older version, but it made no difference. LimeWire will not load.

Excuse my absence, I've been real busy of late (for about a month) and haven't had time to check up on the list often or provide solutions. I am back (sort of, I have to still get my internet back up soon ...that will be Oct 1) I plan on downloading the latest mandrake distribution and testing LimeWire with this to find any problems and provide solutions. I wish I wasn't so "blind" right now but I am currently over my best friend's house and he is a die hard M$ user (though he denies it) and I sit here helpless without any real OS before me at this moment. Suffering, I endure so that I may revisit one of my favorite forums and provide solutions where ever possible. I must remain strong because when Oct 1 come, I will be busily upgrading all my systems and reconfiguring them so that I can best develop with a "super" multi-booted system with Windows XP (There is work to be done here and support that isn't yet provided by linux), mandrake 9.0, mandrake cooker, gentoo, crux, and linuxfromscratch (cvs). I currently only have it presently multi-booted with everything except crux and gentoo. I wonder if I should share a tutorial on how to do this or is this common knowledge or in a manual somewhere?

i get the same error after it's properly compiled...

mdk 9, sdk 1.4.1fcs

in the run script, replace the semicolons with colons.

so the line:
CLASSPATH=".;../core/lib/collections.jar;lib;lib/core.jar;../core/lib/xerces.jar;lib/jl011.jar"

should read:

CLASSPATH=".:../core/lib/collections.jar:lib:lib/core.jar:../core/lib/xerces.jar:lib/jl011.jar"

Hey thanks, that worked (I must not have been paying too much attention when I looked over the errors. I should have been able to figure *that* out :) )

Cheers anyway.

Still confused by nDiScReEt's post. Sounds like that would have been more appropriate in a thread all of it's own... ;)

You are correct. My apologies.

What run file are you refering to? In none of my run files does any CLASSPATH have anything close to this after it.

It is here:

runLime.sh

(It can only be ran from the same directory)

unless of course, you want to make a binary that you can run anywhere, use this command to create such an executable:

ln -s /home/mynick/LimeWire/LimeWire /usr/bin/limewire

(Please substitute the path to the LimeWire executable with your directory path instead)

Now all you will have to do in order to run the program from anywhere is simply to type:

limewire

Creating a menu entry to use this program I hope is self-explanatory.
