kenton Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 [kenton@storage images]$ chmod 755 LimeWireLinux.bin [kenton@storage images]$ ./LimeWireLinux.bin Preparing to install... Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive... Configuring the installer for this system's environment... No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH environment variable. You must install a VM prior to running this program. What Java should I use?

kenton Posted August 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 I installed Java, but LimeWire gives me the same message. I think I need to add a PATH= extension somewhere, but I'm unsure how. Also, I configured Java for Mozilla, and Mozilla shows that I've got the Java plugin installed, but when I go to their Java test page, or any other page with Java, Mozilla just dies. It exits without an error, the Mozilla window is there -- then it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadKAT Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hi kenton! You just might be experiencing the same problem I did, wherein java is installed but it wouldn't run. See the thread "Java on MDK 10". Maybe you have the same situation that I had, and in that case maybe my notes would help. good luck!

Hawai Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 I had loads of problems with Sun Java... Didn't work at all. While Blackdown works like a charm here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 If you have installed the J2RE and limewire can't find it edit your .bashrc (hidden file in your $HOME) Add these lines: PATH=/usr/local/java/bin:$PATH export PATH JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java export JAVA_HOME Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devries Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 You don't need to install a jar file, you just run it. You need to install the java runtime environment (not jdk). If it complains about PATH just give the full path (ie. /usr/java/j2rxxx/java -jar xxx.jar. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest digitalsuperman Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 I explored a bit with the manual.. it sez that I must append the Environment Variables... can you please tell me how to do that.... I asked everyone in my school who knows about linux ,they all say that they have no idea what I'm talking about and they haven't tried it.hehe @devries: Thank you so much...

ioffer Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Don't you mean .bash_profile? (i know this is like 6 months after the fact, but was just experiencing the same thing and didn't want to mess anything up) If you have installed the J2RE and limewire can't find it edit your .bashrc (hidden file in your $HOME) Add these lines: PATH=/usr/local/java/bin:$PATH export PATH JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java export JAVA_HOME Good luck <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
