Thanks for the update, CTO.

Can you try installing the Java package here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/java.html .

Apple has recently had a rash of problems with Java support, so it may just have been a faulty installation.

Thanks,
Sam

I will try that out right away. Thank you, too.

I only have a 128k internet connection so since it will take a while I shall post again here tomorrow. (I'm in Germany)

Thanks!

That didn't fix it either.
Terminal still says it's a bus error.
The system and console logs also say the same.
Could it be anything outside the OS or Limewire itself?

Hmmm.

Sorry for the problems. How soon after opening LimeWire does it crash? Do you do anything (such as clicking on the menu or the program) before it crashes?

Try opening the file <home>/Library/Preferences/LimeWire/limewire.props and adding the line:
SHOW_TOTD=false

Let us know how it goes .... Thanks.

Ok, I added the line and then tried it out a couple of times. It now only crashes when I klick "Later" in the "Upgrade to Pro" window. Otherwise it opens as it should.

Console:

2004-01-29 22:05:04.534 LimeWire[744] Java couldn't paint in Java_apple_awt_CRenderer_doRect, no focused view.

System:

Jan 29 22:04:56 localhost /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/ATS.framework/Support/ATSServer: FOExceptionMainHandler caught a fatal exception at 0x0000f314
Jan 29 22:04:56 localhost /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/ATS.framework/Support/ATSServer: ATSServer got a fatal exception!! Please check /var/tmp/ATSServer_233.
(This is repeated four times)

Thanks for the update, CTO. You said, "It now only crashes when I click Later..." -- does that mean it used to crash immediately (ie, before anything even appeared on the screen, or stuff did appear but you were unable to click anything)? What happens if you click to do the upgrade?

Usually it used to crash maybe 10 seconds after the main window and the Upgrade window were visible. During this time I clicked away the Upgrade window and I could start writing something I wanted to search for. But as soon as I hit reurn or clicked on Connections or Monitor it crashed.
If I click to do the upgrade it changes nothing, it didn't change anything before either.

Hi CTO,

Could you email me at sberlin@limepeer.com please? I'm going to add some logging statements into the code to see if we can track down what's causing the crash.

Thanks,
Sam

Having the same problem-bouncing in dock followed by nothing ... Java fixes not working, neither does altering the plist - terminal 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

tried showing the contents of Limewire.app and manually launching "Limewire.app:MacOS:Limewire" per the advice of previous posting.

is there a fix to run limewire normally?

Download the latest beta, 3.7.11, available from the beta link at the download page. It will solve this particular problem.
