Be sure that you press [ESC] first - then : then either q to quit or qw to save (then press enter of course)

That should be all you need to exit it - if you have serious issues with vi, use emacs or something else - I like emacs too. If in doubt, do a man vi or man emacs for more detailed instructions on each editors operation.

Well, I think it may be too much to say that I fixed anyone's problems, since the guy who helped me was the one who started this topic. Thanks be to him instead.

I found a simple solution to your problem. If you've
had a previous version of java, i.e j2re1.3.1, then go
to your /usr/bin directory and delete any java or javac shell script you may find. Worked for me.

OK, Guys,

I have been away for a week. Work required 200+ hours of my time.

I really want to forget about work for a while and get back to this, but I am very lost due to the time elapsed.

When I run sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin I get this:
[Thomas@localhost LimeWire]$ sh ./LimeWireLinix.bin
./LimeWireLinix.bin: ./LimeWireLinix.bin: No such file or directory
[Thomas@localhost LimeWire]$ sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin

Can someone assist please?

Thank you in advance

Crap! Now I've got it all screwed up. I copied my java directory from home to usr/bin and now when I do which java I get this:

which java
/usr/bin/which: no java in (/home/Thomas/java/j2re/j2re1.4.1_01/bin:/usr/
kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/
bin)

I get the same thing after cd'ing to the /usr/bin/java directory.

I got it guys! I just had to find the post that helped me when I went through this the last time I set up LimeWire. This works for me EVERY TIME so I hope it can help someone else who is feeling frustrated out there.

$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin/java/j2re
$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/java/j2re/bin
$ sh LimeWireLinux.bin

The above has gotten me thru the "No Virtual Machine" message three times now.

Kind regards,
Thomas
