 "Limewire was unable to use the specified directory for saving files." I have successfully installed Limewire as "root" into the /usr/local/Limewire directory. I have copied the startup link into my home directory. When I try to run Limewire, it goes into a setup mode. On the second screen it asks for the directory for saving files, defaulting to ~/Shared. I accepted the default, but I get the error message, "Limewire was unable to use the specified directory for saving files. Please try a different directory." In order to correct this problem I have done the following: 1. chmod 777 ~/Shared 2. checked the owner - it is my user. 3. deleted the .limewire directory, and started over. Nothing has worked. Suggestions?  |
