mdemers883 Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Well I wanna try running limewire so I did some digging around in the FAQ's. Everytying was going smoothly till I get to this part of it. cd /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins/ I don't seem to have that mozilla folder at all in /jusr/lib I have no clue why. Anybody have any ideas since I need to do some changes in their to get java running proplerly. Any hlep is appreciated. Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I think you have to create your links in /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins for suse; there is no /usr/lib/mozilla directory IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemers883 Posted February 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 well I got good news and bad news. I found that directory that you were talking about pmpatrick and I did the commmands in that dir that the FAQ told me to do. LimeWire was able to install after I did that which is the good news. Now the bad news is Mozilla won't run :( Any ideas of what happened? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemers883 Posted February 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Also, how do I run limewire now? I have a file called runLimeWire and when I double click it and select "run" nothing happens. Is there a certain way I'm supposed to do it, or do I have to run it from terminal if so, how? Thanks for any help. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 sh runLimeWire btw, java should have been installed by default in Suse 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemers883 Posted February 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 sh runLimeWire btw, java should have been installed by default in Suse 9. When I originally tried to install limewire it wouldn't install, said it needed java to run, that's why I installed the java (pain in the butt) and now mozilla won't run anymore. I also tried "sh runLimeWire" and nothing happened, didn't get any message from the terminal either. Any ideas? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Look in the suse yast2 install package section and search for "java" there is also a kdejava something plugin and as far as mozilla you might just need to re-install it. What does mozilla do if you try and run it from the cli #mozilla or #mozilla -debug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemers883 Posted February 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 (edited) Look in the suse yast2 install package section and search for "java" there is also a kdejava something plugin and as far as mozilla you might just need to re-install it. What does mozilla do if you try and run it from the cli #mozilla or #mozilla -debug I'll give that a try when I get home from work, sounds like it could work :D Oh, btw, I'm running GNOME...would the kdejava still work it would it mess things up since I'm running GNOME? ...oh, one more thing. I've never uninstalled software in linux before, how would I go about removing it? Thanks for any help you can give.

jlc Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 It would only be used in kde so it wouldn't effect your gnome. #rpm -e mozilla #removes #yast -i mozilla #installs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlc Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Oh, i thought you were using mozilla. Do a search in yast2 for mozilla and see what comes up. I think it is "mozillafirebird", but i'm not sure about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is "mozillafirebird", but i'm not sure about that. Yep, I found mozillafirebird in yast2. I downloaded that and was able to launch firebird via cli :D Since I haven't been able to use it lately I've been using Konqueror and I like it just as much :D I still can't get limewire to run for somereason, any ideas?
