when you say to install the BSD file from the OSX disc do you mean the OSX JAGUAR disc or the Panther OSX disc?

I have tried both methods posted on this forum. None of them worked.

I'm running panther 10.3.1 and I'm about to give up on this program. Now everyone is saying Limewire 3.14 will work????

ugh.

nope. still does the smae not working thing,

I'm having the same problem. I tried the above mentioned fixes. Everything else I do on the mac works. I can use poisoned, but I like Limewire better.

--catman

any suggestions?

is 3.6.14 available?

Having the same problem-bouncing in dock followed by nothing ... Java fixes not working - termanal says:

/Applications/LimeWire/LimeWire.app/Contents/MacOS/prelude: line 1: dirname: command not found
/Applications/LimeWire/LimeWire.app/Contents/MacOS/prelude: line 19: /LimeWire: No such file or directory
/Applications/LimeWire/LimeWire.app/Contents/MacOS/prelude: line 19: exec: /LimeWire: cannot execute: No such file or directory

Showing the contents of Limewire.app and manually launching "Limewire.app:MacOS:Limewire" (i.e. the Unix Executable file) seems to work, albeit with some interface redrawing issues that may or may not be related to this issue.

Hope this is some help..

i got limewire to work agian, here's what i did.
on the panther intall disk 1, open the folder called optional installs and intall BSD.pkg. that's all i had to do and everthing worked fine.

Yup, Limewire did not work on MacOS 10.3.2 .... until I did this:

Thanks!

I've got it all - Limewire 3.6.15, Java 1.4.1, Panther 10.3.2 - Limewire actually opens, but then crashes. The Crashreport says something about a Bus error.

Crashreport:

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.

Any help?

Use the latest 3.7.9 beta, available from the beta link on the download page. If there is a bus error running Java, it should give you instructions after the installation finishes about how to fix the problem.

I installed 3.7.9 but it still does the same thing.

Console doesn't say anything this time.

i just remembered, I had a similar problem with Entourage a week ago. I erased the preferences folder and that did it, but that doesn't work for Limewire.
