java/symbolic link/gnutella
can't remember where i found this:
1. If there is an existing symbolic link titled 'java' in '/usr/lib', delete it by running:
rm /usr/lib/java If not, jsut go to Step 2.
2. To create / recreate the symbolic link to the j2re1.4.1 directory, run:
ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.4.0 /usr/lib/java
THANKS This hepled greatly after my frustration of having to update to both: j2sdk and j2re in order to run LimeWire Gnutella. One problem though,I did this, but then found nothing after typing "java -version" First i went to root/etc/sysconfig/java and changed this symbolic link. CREATE_JAVALINK="no" I then did rm /usr/lib/java ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.4.0 /usr/lib/java Lastly I had to do the following: 1."export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.0.01 2."export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH My only problem with suse 8.0 so far.I'm not sure what the redundancies if any of my steps were, but LimeWire works. (not meant as an insult for the Deutche) but this sucked and the manuals are useless brochures nothing more. I gave them to my kid to cut-up and use now a 6.4 manual: a great linux book. And yes i checked all the help files too.The Gnuttella forums were a bloody nightmare with pranksters giving 3 page bash instructions on how to create a Desktop link to the app.in SuSE(very funny stuff) It would be helpful to have a list of SuSE peculiarities. I think they are here on this very helpful list already though. Unfortuanetely i don't even like the LimeWire product now that it finally works and may try GTK Gnutella. Doing the above should get this product working and or update java.

You might give Lopster a try. Was included w/7.3 pro. I like it much better than LimeWire. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org

It's a KDE program and as long as you have KDE pretty current it compiles fine. :) It's got a nice UI and comes with a decent list of servers. -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- Tell me what you believe..I tell you what you should see. -DP --=====-----=====--

Qtella has a SuSE rpm. www.qtella.net :Installed fine in just a minute and it actually works too without ads or spyware. Thanks
Hey, GTK-Gnutella just released 0.90 Beta 2 today. I've got an RPM for it at: http://www.firechild.net/SuSE/RPMs/gtk-gnutella-0.90b2-1.i386.rpm Packaged with checkinstall on a SuSE 7.3 system. Should work on 8.0 or any recent RPM-based system for that matter. That's a temporary location, so grab it quick. :-) If you haven't seen the 0.90 releases yet, you're in for a surprise if you've only used the 0.85 stable release. I was a big Qtella user as well until I saw the GTK-Gnutella 0.90 Beta 1 release.

Lastly I had to do the following: 1."export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.0.01 2."export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
I somehow missed this thread. I had the same problem trying to run Limewire for a very long time. I tried all the things that were advised in the readme file,upgraded to a new version of java, to no avail, until I realised that Limewire would only work with version 1.3.1, which was installed all right on my SuSE 7.1. This bash file works for me, and is much simpler: #bin bash /usr/lib/jdk1.3.1/bin/java -jar /PATH_TO_LIMEWIRE/LimeWire/LimeWire.jar fx -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux
