Hi all,
I know everyone has seen this question a zillion times, but I cant help it. None of the suggestion given to other people work on my machine.
I have a p3,933,256 memory
running mandrake8.0
I have installed jre1.3.1
I have set my path in /home/.bashrc and in /home/.bash_profile like this:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/home/deano/jre1.3.1/bin/java


The only way I can get limewire to run, is if from the limewire directory, I type:
/home/deano/jre1.3.1/bin/java -classpath . RunLime

I must have something wrong, but that is where my java is. Im lost, please help. This is affecting a lot more than limewire.

Thanks
Deano

Question 2.4 describes the process of installing and running LimeWire. Did this help at all?

What else is it affecting?

Well........it affects any program that needs the java runtime to work really, i havent been able to get any burning software to work for me.

this may be slightly off-topic but after i installed (read configured after initial install) star office, limewire ceased to start. i had limewire (+the necessary java for SuSE 7.2) running quite well until i wanted to use star office's word processor and ran (again read configured) it for the 1st time. after that use of the word processor, limewire is no longer wont to start?! i am a registered SuSE user and even the support people can offer me no usefull help! i am leaning towards a re-install of the entire OS as there are some other config probs that SuSE support says is "out of our scope" in terms of helping me.

BTW - i am penguin@cox-internet.com, the user who has posted as unregistered in the thread suse linux 7.2 and limewire.
still looking for help - about to re-install

OK all, i solved the last prob i had w/star office vs. limewire by re-formatting & reinstalling SuSE. insodoing i found out i had a bad stick of ram (SuSE's memtest86 is intriguing). worked around the bad ram by simply removing it during (re)install and subsequently stickin 'er back in. all memory seems to work fine now. i'm trying out the new beta 7 version of limewire that supposedly has some kind of chat capability but i ain't found it yet!?! anyone else tried beta 7 yet? chat working?

This post is a little late but anyway. :-) Deano, your path is incorrect. It's not your class path but rather your shell path. The PATH variable tells the system where to look for programs to execute. You've included a reference to the the Java executable when you need to include the *directory* that contains the java executable. Change:

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/home/deano/jre1.3.1/bin/java

to

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/home/deano/jre1.3.1/bin

You should only have to include this in .bash_profile. Remove the one from .bashrc. Log out of the system and log back in. Test out your new path by opening a terminal and typing:

java -version

If you see some information then everything should be alright PATHwise.
