How do i install limewire for linux? ive been tryin to install this damn thing for like 2 hours and i cant get it to work. i installed the java thing from sun microsystems but when i try to install limewire it says i need to install java vm piror to installation. how do i install this damn thing?

The damn thing that you keep talking about, LimeWire, required java to install and run. Do you know where you installed java that you downloaded from Sun? If not sure, run this command as root, find / -name java -print Once it tells you where it is, add that to your path so you can run any java applets from now on, without getting an error message of command not found. In ~/.bash_profile (for bash shell) PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/j2dk-1.4/bin (if java is in /usr/bin/j2dk-1.4/bin!) In ~/.cshrc (for csh/tcsh shell) setenv path "${PATH}:/usr/bin/j2dk-1.4/bin" Then, log out and log back in again or run either of these two at the prompt, source .cshrc (for csh/tcsh) -or- source .bash_profile (for bash) Now, just run the script LimeWireLinux.bin to install LimeWire on your system...

Thanks for this info but I got a diffrent problem after I reboot it looses the java path for the vm and I have to redo it all over again. What am I doing wrong I am using bash btw.

I get the same thing and java is in my PATH variable. I can run java from the command line. Does anyone know of a way to test that the Java VM is in the path?
