Anyway, now that you passed me that output, it's no chance I'm doing it wrong again.
Code:PATH=/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/bin:$PATH limewire

It worked! Thanks for your trouble!
Edit: The problems seem to be endless. I downloaded a song, but it won't play in any of the media players. I can hit the play button in any of them, but it never even starts. Do I need some kind of decoder for .mp3 files?

I almost had that in mind, but what I really meant was unthough through commands, such as `ls /usr/java/j2re* | head -1` when I really meant `ls -d /usr/java/j2re* | head -1`. I rarely do typos, but then on the other hand, I really think things through properly when giving a quick solution. In my quick solutions, if I do something right, it's probably just luck.

But what about the mp3 files not playing? (I guess you missed that part of my post.)

im not sure if limewire has a built in decoder or not, but redhat doesnt support mp3 by default (legality issues) so you can get an rpm patch from www.xmms.org
mpg123 is the one...majorwoo

Another problem! I clicked on the icon for the RPM, and a bar quickly flashed across then vanished. It said something about package dependencies, but it never went into the install process of the RPM. What am I screwing up with now?

from the command line - its easier to work with
rpm -ivh filename.rpm
and it will clearly tell you what packages it depends on, then go to www.rpmfind.net and get them
rpm -Uvh filename.rpm will update as opposed to install
U - upgrade
ii - install
v - verbose (tell me what's going on)
h - hash marks, so i know how far you are
man rpm for moremajorwoo

hey guys, my limewire isn't working either and it does the same thing, when i click on it, nothing happens. It is really getting on my nerves, and i know how you said to type that thing in, but i can't figure out where the place is to type it. It would be sweet if someone could explain it to me cause i'm only fourteen and i don't know much computer smarts... lol
