Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Mine does the same thing and there is no Kaffe on my system. I don't think it's even included in Red Hat 8.

Any other ideas?

I can run it from the tarball version but it kills the window manager on my Windows box.

not only do you not have to install under root, but installing as root is a baaaaaaaaaaad idea.

Kaffe doesn't come with RedHat 8, so don't worry about that at all.

Also, don't run the LimeWire binary by typing "./LimeWireLinux.bin" use "sh LimeWireLinux.bin" also, I'm not entirely sure, but I didn't download the Java 2 SDK, I downloaded the Java 2 JRE, though, other than development tools, there shouldn't be a difference.....

The instructions I gave in the last thread assumed that you DID NOT download the RPM version of Java. If you did, the file locations will be different, try using the command:

Code:
[ @localhost home]$ java -version
you should get the following output:

Code:
java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)
if you don't, and you downloaded the RPM, you might try:

rpm -q java

if you get a result there, then remove the Java RPM binary with:

rpm -e java

My next suggestion would be to follow the directions to the letter in the post I linked to earlier. There's no reason to download the SDK version, unless you're going to be doing software development, so delete that, get the JRE, and try again. I know for a fact it will install, and there shouldn't be too much of a difference between your system and mine. If after doing that, it still doesn't work, then I'm not sure what exactly the problem would be, and someone else on this forum would have to help.

It's worth noting that I assume in my other post, that you downloaded everything to your home directory, if not, there will obviously be some changes.

Also, can you paste your bash_profile here? To check for syntax errors.

He can also run the command:

which java

to see which java binary he is using. That error message he gets implies that a java binary of some sort is conlicting with the java that he installed on the system if there is no typos. HTH

Thumbs up Finally, got it to work!!

I had downloaded j2sdk1.4.1_01.rpm and followed Altoine's Sticky post for Sun RPM installs, to the letter.

When I entered:

java -version

I got:

java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)

entering "./LimeWireLinux.bin" or sh LimeWireLinux.bin produced the same results:

Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...

Launching installer...

Warning: -Xmx100331648 not understood. Ignoring.
Warning: -Xms16777216 not understood. Ignoring.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.zerog.lax.LAX......

My .bash_profile's path was edited to include the j2sdk path to the java binary and I added a CLASSPATH statement for good measure (export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH I ensured I did not have kaffe installed then I entered

source .bash_profile

prior to entering

sh LimeWireLinux.bin

only to get the same error messages.

So I downloaded j2re1.4.1_01 self extracting binary, ran it and edited .bash_profile to reflect the new JAVA_PATH. then entered

source .bash_profile
sh LimeWireLinux.bin

and WA-LA

LimeWire installation script ran and opened LimeWire for the first time

I'm running it as I write this with no problems... connected, searching, downloading and sharing.

Thanks to you folks for all your help. I would of never had thought of installing j2re. I would have continued thinking j2sdk included the same binaries and supporting files as j2re, plus the development files.

I had been stuck for weeks with the same installation errors, screeninng the Forum for an answer. I'm glad I held out as long as I did to get it working. It was well worth it.

Thanks again

Juan

Yes, glad to hear that you got it working. But j2sdk does have the same binaries as j2re. There might be something wrong somewhere but I'm going to figure it out. As I'm running the sdk version without a hitch. This is intriguing.

Thank you for posting your solution steps and what not as that can be useful to other users.
