I need help with Limewire running... [solved]

[olddays]

HEllo ,

I have just found limewire rpm file. I tried to install. It told me to install j2re 1.4.1 package. I found it and installed completely. Then I installed limewire. I found the limewire file and opened it sh file with sh command. It gave me these :

 

[root@localhost LimeWire]# sh runLime.sh
Starting LimeWire...
Java exec not found in PATH, starting auto-search...
OOPS, unable to locate java exec in  /usr/lib/  hierarchy
You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://www.java.com
Java exec found in  /usr/java/j2re1.4.1/bin/
Suitable java version found  [/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/bin/java = 1.4.1]

Something went wrong with LimeWire.
Maybe you're using the wrong version of Java?
(LimeWire is tested against and works best with with Sun's JRE, Java 1.4+)
The version of Java in your PATH is:
runLime.sh: line 117: java: command not found

 

Sorry for the long code entry. Thank you for your helps , I really need them..

I never used limewire, but...

 

Your java is probably not in your $PATH. Do

 

whereis java

 

You should see it somewhere. If not, use

 

ln -s [where java is] [in your (local/)bin directory]

 

Also, is your environment variable, JAVA_HOME, correct?

Do

 

env (or env | grep JAVA [for a short list])

 

If not correct, use the "set" command, and then "export".

Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with the syntax. Do

 

man set

man export

 

to learn more.

 

For java version, do

 

java -version

 

If you have an old java, download and install a newer version.

 

http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

 

For me, I have

 

$whereis java

java: /usr/local/bin/java /usr/local/java

$ env | grep JAVA

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jre-1.4.2_09

$ java -version

java version "1.5.0_09"

Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_09-b03)

Java HotSpot Client VM (build 1.5.0_09-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

 

Hope this help.

Is it possible java rpm to install package elsewhere than yours? I don't think so , but I am trying to change the path. And one more thing thAT I couldn't get well is why the paths given by "whereis java" and "grep .....(forgot ) " are different? Thank you for your interest.

There is a file named "Limewire.desktop" . I tried to run it. It appeared on the desktop bar with sandglass. But then it disappeared and didn't come back. I couldn't get it ; and don't know what to do....

I had similar problems with Frostwire, but I uninstalled Frostwire and don't know what I did.... I did get it running however with help from their chat channel, it was really simple to fix though.

 

(edit: does limewire start at all? I reinstalled frostwire and get similar messages but it does start)

I've done it by installing jre 1.5.0 . I used to have j2re 1.4.1 but it was talking about jre. So I did it as it says. I t is ok. Thank you...
