cmus Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hi, On 2005 LE, I have installed the 2 RPMs j2re-1.5.03-1.101mcnl and limewire-3.5.6-1jpp Limewire will not run. Are these RPMs known to be broken or are there other configurations I need to do? I tried the RPMs because I thought they would eliminate my need to mess with the java installation instructions I have read on this forum and others. Maybe I still have to change something? Thanks for any help... Cmus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I'm using j2re-1.5.03-1.101mcnl and have no problem. For limewire, open a console and start it from there. Post the errosrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmus Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 When I run it from a console, a window opens up that says: "Welcome to the Limewire setup wizard. Limewire will guide you through a series of steps to configure Limewire for optimum performance." But there are no buttons to push for continue or next or anything like that. My only option is to close the window. I think it is a Java problem, but I don't know for sure. Thanks for helping Cmus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmus Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Thanks for your help, It seems the rpm I got from the USC urpmi mirror is broken. It is version 3.5 or something like that. I got a newer one from freshmeat (4.8) which worked straight away. Hope this post helps someone else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
