JAVA not being detected

i just installed the latest java (jre 1.5.0_06) in my machine (mandriva 10.2) but its not being detected by other applications, like with limewire, heres what i get when i try to run limewire:

Code:

sh ./runLime.sh Java exec not found in PATH, starting auto-search... OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/lib/ hierarchy You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://www.java.com ls: /usr/java/j*: No such file or directory OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/java/ hierarchy You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://www.java.com ls: /opt/j*: No such file or directory OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /opt/ hierarchy You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://www.java.com

java is currently installed in /usr/lib/java/ and it works perfectly with firefox. i think i need to set a path for limewire to detect java or something like that but i dont know how, can someone explain me how to do this?

Maybe create a symlink to one of the other locations where it is being looked for. Or maybe it's looking for /usr/lib/java instead of /usr/lib/jre 1.5.0_06. Wherever your jre 1.5.0_06 is, make a symlink from it to where the app looks for it, and name the symlink java. For instance, if jre 1.5.0_06 is installed in /opt, make a symlink from it to /usr/lib...

Code:

ln -s /opt/jre 1.5.0_06 /usr/lib/java

I had to do this so Azureus could find java and it worked perfectly.

EDIT: If I'm remembering correctly from my Mandrake days, there is, as you have posted, java already at /usr/lib/java. You would have to eliminate this if jre 1.5.0_06 is installed somewhere else and you make the symlink to /usr/lib/java.

ok i dcided to reinstall java, now im 100% sure it in /usr/lib/java, it still works with firefox, and i also did another thing i found in another thread about PATH...$PATH, but when i run limewire it says this

Code:

sh ./runLime.sh Starting LimeWire... Java exec found in PATH. Verifying... Suitable java version found [java = 1.5.0_06] Configuring environment... Loading LimeWire:

after that, all i get is the limewire splash screen, but nothing else, hmm what could be wrong?

Not sure. I've never used LimeWire. If you can't get it sorted, have a look at GTK-Gnutella. It never gives complaints when installing, and if I'm remembering correctly, it uses the very same networks.

You are correct about the same network, and it's not a slow-ass java peice of ****.
