Does anyone have any idea what problem is?

Thanks in advance,
Greg

I also have j2sdk 1.4.0.02 and j2re1.4.0.02 from sun installed.

Greg

then maybe you shouldn't. LimeWire is not a windows "proggy" - God I hate that word - It's a java app which means that it will run on any platform that runs Java. I don't have the solution to this problem either, I just want to make sure that no one wastes any time trying to follow your stupid advice.

I have also tried the modifing the bash_profile file several times, but to no affect.

Greg

Also

I search for kaffe and it is not on my system. I used rpm -q kaffe.

Greg

I was able to run LimeWire (not install) on my RedHat 8.0 system. I downloaded the tarball instead of the rpm and changed the last line of runLime.sh to:

/usr/java/j2re1.4.0_02/bin/java -jar RunLime.jar

to use the new java version. Then just execute runLime.sh

Remove kaffe.

I get the exact same thing. All my classpaths and everything are set up correctly...cant figure out why it wont work.

And I dont have kaffe installed.

Ideas?

If you installed java correctly in .bash_profile.
Run this command to see if it solves or fixes your problem:

source .bash_profile

If that works then the solution is due to the fact that your system only runs your .bash_profile once (at boot up which is normal and makes perfect sense). Unless, of course, you are in a GUI environment and open up a new terminal window which would do the same effect as logging in again to use the new changes to your profile.

I'm running Redhat 8 with kernel 2.4.18-17.8.0

Here's what I did:

Download the Java 2 JRE from here:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html

(note: download the self extracting file, not the RPM)

Open a terminal and at the prompt type:

press the space bar till you get to the end, agree to the license and let it do it's thing.

the next thing you may want to do is cd to the directory you installed the j2re in, and rename the file to something other than j2re-1.4.1_01. If you installed into your home directory, do this:

Then you need to edit your bash profile, I find doint it in vi is fast and simple, here's a walkthrough:

1) at the shell prompt type:

2) then press the 'i' key to insert text

3) use the arrow keys to move down to this line:

modify it to read:

if you did NOT rename the Java 2 folder, and to:

if you DID rename the Java 2 folder.

4) Hit Esc to quit inserting text

5) type :wq to write the changes and quit vi

6) at the next shell prompt type:

7) Download LimeWireLinux.bin from

here.

8) now once again at your shell prompt, type:

The installer will start up, and you can install Lime Wire to your heart's content. I hope this helps, good luck!
