LimeWire? and aline

[jdrusmtik9]

Im trying to get LimeWire to work on my Debian install. I tried going to termainal as troot

alien LimeWireLinux.rpm

and it said no such file exists so then it tired it like this

alien /home/james/LimeWireLinux.rpm

and still got the file does not exist error. Any ideas? I can't figure it out the file is totally there, and under properties tunres up as an x-RPM file. All Im trying to do is convert it to a deb package so that I can install it.

and yes I do have the Alien Packages installed

Hi there & welcome to linux, now regarding your issue:

you need to remember that linux is case sensitive, so make sure you're typing in the correct case. It may also help if you "cd" (change directory) into the folder where the file was downloaded. Then you use "ls" or "dir", this would show the contents on the folder(remember check the case of the file).
when you found the file then do "alien X.rpm", X being the file.
hope that helps.

Hey thanks.

I eneded up having to CD into the directory like you said and then it worked great, also adding an -i after alien helps toso that it actually instals the packages for you.

Thank a lot!
