When running LimeWire for the first time, I get this error:

./LimeWire: line 1: 9647 Segmentation fault "/usr/java/jre1.3.1_01/bin/java" com.zerog.lax.LAX "/home/uid/LimeWire/./LimeWire.lax" "/tmp/env.properties.9594"


Any Ideas.

I am having this same problem, you are not alone :-D

Same problem

ME Too! I had 1.7 running finr and like a dope I installed 1.8 over it, now I have nada! I have jre 1.3.1_01

i get ...
'current locale is not supported in X11, locale is set to C./LimeWire: line 1: 18506 Seg........ com.zerog.lax.LAX....'

I'm having the same problem. But I tried with another JDK (Sun j2sdk1.4.0beta), and everything seems to be OK now...

But I really want to use my "old" jdk

I don't know what's the matter with 1.8, but I can make 1.7 run and I can make the SuperNode Alpha run as well, but 1.8 still segfaults. I don't know what is wrong (and don't intend to learn java to find out).

Might as well add myself to list of people with this problem.

./LimeWire-1.8: line 1: 1322 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "/usr/java/jre1.3.1_01/bin/java" com.zerog.lax.LAX "/usr/local/LimeWire-1.8/LimeWire.lax" "/tmp/env.properties.1259"

me too... i'm not sure what version i got... if it's really needed that bad though.. i can get it..

[HyPeR@localhost HyPeR]$ ./runLimeWire
./runLimeWire: line 1: 3267 Segmentation fault "/usr/java/jre1.3.1_01/bin/java" com.zerog.lax.LAX "/home/HyPeR/LimeWire/LimeWire.lax" "/tmp/env.properties.3204"

someone HELP us already!!! it seems there's enough of us for someone to try to help... and limewire probably gets paid for us looking at their ads which we can't do without opening the program... so someone should care enough to help us out... any ideas at all?? just shows the splash screen then goes away

i have the same problem.
i'm using the sun jdk 1.3.1 se (build 1.3.1-b24) under suse linux 7.1 with gnome/enlightenment.

limewire 1.7 is working fine and on the first run of 1.8 the setup wizard is working too. after answering all the questions, i get
./runlime.sh: line 11: 3079 Segmentation fault java -classpath . RunLime
when starting runlime.sh in the console.

hoping for a fix soon.

in the java 1.3.1 release notes, i found this:

* For Linux users - The newer glibc-2.2.x libraries cannot correctly handle initial thread stack sizes larger than 6 MB. This can cause a segmentation fault on come Linux platforms that use the newer libraries. Such platforms include Red Hat 7.0, Mandrake 8.0, SuSe 7.2, and Debian 2.2. The problem will not occur on Linux platforms that are using glibc-2.1.x such as Red Hat 6.1 and 6.2. It will also not affect Red Hat 7.1 because it uses a different thread stack layout. This problem is being tracked as bug 4466587.

Workaround - Use "ulimit -s 2048" in bash shell or "limit stacksize 2048" in tcsh to limit the initial thread stack to 2 MB.

i added the line "ulimit -s 2048" to runlime.sh just before the call of java and now it works!

hope this will help you, too!
