In your home directory there should be a file called ".bash_profile" without the quotes.

use a text editor of choice (if you are using FC3 you at least have vi).

Open a terminal window and type this:
Code:
vi .bash_profile
Look for a line that looks like this:
Code:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
and Edit it to look like this:
Code:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/bin
Now for this to work you need the Java Virtual Machine installed.

To do that go to java.sun.com
and download the rpm of their site.

When the rpm is downloaded install it by doing the following commands:

Code:
chmod 777 <rpm-filename-here>
./<.rpm-filename>
rpm -ivh <,rpm-filename>
Where <rpm-filename> = the name of the file you downloaded.

I used the Develpter package because I code in Java (barely). If you download the runtime environment you will need to change the line above that looks like:
Code:
 PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/bin
To whatever the rpm adds to the /usr/java directory.

Any questions just post here, I'll answer when I can.

Hi,

we're having problems with the LimeWireLinux.bin installer. Please download the LimeWireLinux.tgz file, and install it the following way:

mkdir LimeWire
mv LimeWireLinux.tgz LimeWire
cd LimeWire
tar -xvzf LimeWireLinux.tgz

after you do this and have java installed properly as described in the above post, you should be able to run limewire by typing :

sh runLimewire.sh
