LimeWireLinux.bin?
Hello
I need some help installing limewire.
Every time I try to install limewire I get this message:
[nikosapi@localhost Setups]$ sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin

No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH
environment variable. You must install a VM prior to
running this program.

The thing is that I did install java and I'm completely clueless.
Please help,
Nikosapi

you need to install a Java Runtime Environment from http://java.sun.com

Make sure that the path to the java bin directory is in your path. I always forget to do that.

Try logging in as su first, then ./LimeWirelinux.bin That made the difference for me

Once you install java, you must specify this path on $PATH, or you just tell the limewire installer where java is, like so:
Of course, in your case, the java directory may not be in the same path as mine, so just put yours and you'll be ready.Code:[...]$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/bin sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin
