Limewire 3.8.7 for OSX hangs on startup -- Java error? In only the last few days I have not been able to launch Limewire. 3.8.6 version hung, so I downloaded 3.8.7 and this is the error message: LimeWire version 3.8.7 Pro Java version 1.4.1_01 from Apple Computer, Inc.

I prefer OSX as it is much faster. |
P.S. Also, reinstalling 3.8.7 or earlier does not help. Have tried deleting every kind of preference file there is, but it just doesn't get past the splash screen. |
Same startup error After re-installing Limewire several times, I still receive the same error...and a kind little message that reads "most likely due to a corrupted installation..".. Running on Mac OS X 10.3.3 |
For the install problem, search for and delete the "Install.LimeWire.pkg" noted here An alternative drag and drop installer is available here Fred--did you also delete the Home/Library/Preferences/LimeWire folder? (It means resetting all the prefs on the next install). |
Yes, I deleted everything "Lime", forcing a prefs rebuild. Still, there is some kind of java error at the point of loading core components. |
Results of using the drag and drop interface 3.9.2, plus removing all prefs: LimeWire version 3.9.2jum289 Java version 1.4.1_01 from Apple Computer, Inc.

http://bugs.limewire.com/bugs/home.jsp shows that as #7, and it affects mostly some OSX and a few Unix users. I'll look around --perhaps someone who knows Java better will have a better idea than reinstalling Java http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120242 |
The problem appears to be some version mismatch in the used XML libraries - I have no clue yet what caused this. But I have added code to my build (it is number 290 right now) to catch the problem and to ignore the old downloads.dat file in this case. You will have to go to the library windows and resume the partial files by hand. Do you folks with the problem have by chance a xerces.jar in /Library/Java/Extensions or in a similarly named Folder in your home directory? |
I have a "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.1/Homw/lib/endorsed/xerceslmpl.jar" and a /Library/Frameworks/XSLTFOEngine.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Java/xerceslmpl.jar" Also, what is "resume the partial files by hand?" I can't get Limewire to run at all in OSX. Also, there is NOTHING in my Java extensions folder. |
Yes--that is what the java folder should show.The coders wondered if there might have been a xerces.jar showing (as you have), which might explain your situation. Just move those xerces.jars elsewhere for now. jum wrote a new build of LW that should address your problem. Go to http://www.mager.org/LimeWire/LimeWire.html and download the 290 version. He identified the error messages as relating to the file that keeps track of the incomplete downloads, called the downloads.dat file stored in the incomplete folder. If you install the jum290 version, all your current incomplete downloads won't show on the Search Pane, so you'll have to resume them from the Incomplete listing in the Library. Did it work? |
