Installing LimeWire

[Guest Linz]

Hi!

 

I have some trouble installing LimeWire. I have read some other posts on this forum about the same issue, but I can't seem to get it to work.

 

I have installed the 1.4.2 version for the sun site, and I can see java applets on web pages in konqueror.

 

Here are some terminal outputs:

[linz@trondelag-dhcp-212-209 limewire]$ echo $PATH
/home/linz/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin

[linz@trondelag-dhcp-212-209 limewire]$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/home/linz/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2

[linz@trondelag-dhcp-212-209 limewire]$ ls $JAVA_HOME

Any ideas? (Kaffe is not installed)

 

btw: I had the mdk java package installed previously...it didn't work either

Dont know if it would help but DOLson had good tutorial about getting java installed for running limewire on his site.

Think the website address is in his sig or try this: http://pgshopping.com/mdkxp/

I think I know what's going on, but I will preface this post with a "I THINK" I don't know no for sure.

 

Hi!

I have installed the 1.4.2 version for the sun site, and I can see java applets on web pages in konqueror.

 

based on those errors I was getting them because of another java compiler being installed.

 

it was the java compiler add on for gcc of all things.

 

Oh well hopefully it's a similar problem for you.

Besides kaffe I think there's another jvm that can be installed from the distro (I'm running Mandrake 10.0 OE btw)

 

Check your installed java compilers and virtual machines, and make sure you only have suns jre installed.

 

I can't install a few programs I would really like to use because of the opposite problem they require kaffe as a dependency and since I develop I can't get rid overide the sun jre.

 

frustrating to say the least.

 

Make sure you have the JAVA_HOME environment variable set to your java home directory as well

for instance mine is JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_05

 

you can add this in your /etc/profile

 

Hope this helps

Be sure and do this

 

cd /usr/bin

rm java javac jar

choose yes

ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_05/bin/java java

Why doesn't Java ship with Mandrake? Some non-open source licensing agreement, no doubt?

I believe Java does, but VM doesn't.
