Hmm well at least you've got a bit further. I'm no Java expert but looking at the errors I would say the missing classes are all in the limewire distro itself. Make sure you are launching limewire in the its home dir
/usr/local/LimeWire/v1.5/
I presume the above is the dirctory in which you have limewire installed and looking at it I think it is Incorrect. I would try making sure 1.5 is in a directory called Limewire (note the case) and then use cd to enter the Limewire directory and run the script.
Good Luck
Richard

I tried your last suggestion. One last check:
Another person actually performed the download, so
it might be possible that there was errors. I
am including the directory of the contents below.
It seemed small to me, but I have no idea of what
it should actually be.

Which looks the same
Is this a limewire problem or is it a Java problem? have you got other java programs to work? Have you set up Java properly?
Do you have the following entries in your ©bash_profile:

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/jdk1©3©0_02/bin
BASH_ENV=$HOME/©bashrc
JAVA_PATH=/usr/local/jdk1©3©0_02
export BASH_ENV PATH JAVA_PATH

Note I have the jdk/bin directory in my PATH and I also have a JAVA_PATH variable set to my jdk root directory©

Thanks Richard for all your help. I tried your
last suggestion, but that still did not fix the
problem. I read in another posting that java
did not work the same in kernel 2.4.x. What
kernel are you running? I am running 2.4.6.
If you are using 2.4.x, is there a switch that
is special for java?

Aha I'm running 2©4©2 on RH 7©1 but now you've reminded me that sun java 1©3x doesn't work unless you do this:

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2©2©5
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

Try typing that at the command prompt before you run limewire© If it works place the line in the java script in the jdk/bin dir
Sorry it's some time since I installed java and I forgot about the above©
