Sauter? What is sauter? I solder Furbies
for a living and am personally offended. Oh, I also am a "dependent" Mac User and had little difficulty installing LimeWire under MacOSX. Terminal Shmerminal, It doesn't take a genius.


Got empty underpants?
Must be Unix.

Im trying to download movie files of mpeg format to my imac 333. However, no movie player on my mac (quicktime 4.1, microsoft media player, realplayer7) can read the files.
Please help

I solved my own problem. Changed the ID tags with resedit.

He must have ment saute. Nothing like a nice sauteed (pretend there's an accent there) furbie. MmmMmm good. Nothing like some good trolling either.

They are abosolutely right, of course. My complete inability to spell solder correctly completely invalidates my argument. Silly of me to think I could put something like that past a group of Mac users! And to the gentleman who SOLDERS furbies for a living AND uses a Mac, I'm very, very, very sorry. Really.

I just wanted to let you all know that I successfully installed LimeWire on Mac OS X. Here are the steps:
1) Download it.
2) Open Terminal.app (Look in Mac HD:Applications:Utilities:Terminal.app)
3) Switch to the directory you downloaded it to (cd .. to move up on directory cd <dir_name> to move "down" a directory)
4) Install the thing: type "sh LimeWireMacOSX.sh". This actually launches a nice gui installer.
5) Answer the installer questions. You can change most anything later in the app, so don't worry too much.
6) Run the app: type "./Limewire" in the directory into which you installed Limewire.

Good luck.

I installed Limewire with no problems but I can't get it to run. I'm in the terminal and in the right directory but when i type "./Limewire"
and it says permissions denied

I don't have OSX, so I don't know if this will work... but for those of you getting the "Permission Denied" message you might want to try this:

- (in the console) make sure you're in the same directory as the limewire app

- type 'chmod 777 limwireappnamehere'

Again, I'm not sure if this will work.. but let me know if it does

I've been using the Wire on X for a while... very happy with the results... and glad to see that I wasn't the only one having to dust off the old college nix manual trying to figure out how to run a shell (tcsh anyone?)

Anyway, does anyone know how to build an icon for the app so that we can run it directly from the desktop instead of through the terminal app? Thanks

By the way, the best feature of X by far IMHO is that lovely spell checker that any app can have access to. From Omniweb to Fire...

I unfortunately do not have any more useful information to add in terms of how to install LimeWire on OSX using the current installer.

I just wanted to mention to everyone that we will be releasing a new OSX version in the next several weeks that will be a much smaller download (probably about 1 meg) and that will be far simpler to install. It will also be a much more stable and better performing version of the program, as OSX includes Apple's newest version of Java, which many of you undoubtedly realize.

Our apologies for the complexity of the current install procedure.
