Hi, guys. Need some help before my head blows up! I'm trying to install LimeWire (newest version 2.6) in Mandrake 9.0. This is what happens: [root@localhost Downloads]# sh LimeWireLinux.bin Preparing to install... Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive... Configuring the installer for this system's environment... No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH environment variable. Yous must install a VM prior to running this program. [root@localhost Downloads]# Am I missing something? Thanks, Sam

I don't know why your head would explode because if you read the error message carefully, you know that you need to have java on your system before you can install LimeWire! In fact, it even says so on their website... You can download the latest version, 1.4.1, either at java.sun.com or www.blackdown.org. After installing it, make sure you include it in your path, either in ~/.bashrc or ~/bash_profile, so LimeWire can find it, PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/j2re1.4.1/bin export PATH Lawrence

I've got Java 1.4.1 installed already. How do I include it in my path? I'm not sure what to do with ~/.bashrc or ~/bash_profile or where I should type this in: PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/j2re1.4.1/bin export PATH Thanks! Sam

Open a text editor of either .bashrc or .bash_profile. Then add those two lines somewhere in there. By the way, you need to know the exact path to your java. If not sure where it is, run this command at the prompt, whereis java -or- find / -name java -print Lawrence

open up terminal and type this in:\ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/your java file/bin this should solve everything, then just go ahead and install.
