i downloaded limewire for linux and started installing it. but it says preparing system update, then an error pops up and says "package not found" the following package could not be found on your system. installation can not continue until it is installed.
unlocatable package--j2re
required by--('LimeWire-free','4,12.11','0')
please help

I'm not a Linux user & there aren't many here to answer Linux questions, but...try looking over in the General Linux Support section
https://www.gnutellaforums.com/general-linux-support/

Also use the forum search. You could try looking for unlocatable package, or package not found...you might come across some older threads that will help

even when im not clicking my limewire icon, it keeps popping out open, even after closing the application. i tried to uninstall but i cannot delete the files. then a dialog boz from java keeps popping up. here is the message:
