Hi!

I am having problems installing the OSX client on my Mac. I did "chmod 755" on the installer script, then ran it. However, running it produced the following errors:

$./LimeWireMacOSX.sh
Preparing to install...
An internal LaunchAnywhere application error has occured and this application cannot proceed. (LAX)

Stack Trace:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed \uxxxx encoding.
at java.util.Properties.loadConvert(Properties.java:3 09)
at java.util.Properties.load(Properties.java:258)
at com.zerog.common.java.util.PropertiesUtil.loadProp erties([DashoPro-
V1.2-120198])
at com.zerog.lax.LAX.<init>([DashoPro-V1.2-120198])
at com.zerog.lax.LAX.main([DashoPro-V1.2-120198])

Running the installer as root produced the same errors, as did running it as an argument to a Bourne shell command (as opposed to an executable shell script), e.g. "sh ./LimeWireMacOSX.sh".

I am running OSX v10.0.3 on a G4/466, 256MB of RAM. AFAIK the JRE I am
running is the standard one that Apple ships with the OS. Version info is as follows:

$java -version
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0, mixed mode)

I searched both the Web and usenet for similar errors, but was unable to find any. Am I the only one having this problem?

BTW, after a little kludging I was able to get MRJAppBuilder to create an executable bundle out of the native java version, so I am currently running that with no problems. But it would be nice to run the OSX-native version!

Any help or advice you could provide in getting this to work would be greatly
appreciated. I am stumped! Please email me directly at the address below, minus the obvious, if you have a solution.

Thanks in advance,

well when I try and run macfuriosx, limewire or macphex I get an error that makes me wonder whether my G3/400 OS 10.0.3 even has java 2!
It "could not launch Java app
the main class a.a.a.b.main could not be loaded"

what am I doing wrong? Do i need to compile teh package myself??
