Guest Linz Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 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 $JAVA_HOME bin/ demo/ jre/ LICENSE README src.zip COPYRIGHT include/ lib/ man/ README.html THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.txt [linz@trondelag-dhcp-212-209 limewire]$ java -version java version "1.4.2" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode) [linz@trondelag-dhcp-212-209 limewire]$ ./LimeWireLinux.bin Preparing to install...

You must install a VM prior to running this program. Any ideas? (Kaffe is not installed) btw: I had the mdk java package installed previously...it didn't work either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dmcmillan Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 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 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. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenton Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Why doesn't Java ship with Mandrake? Some non-open source licensing agreement, no doubt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
