help installing software
I'll admit I'm new to the scene but I've been windows free for 2 months now
struggling through linux with much help from this board (thanks to all of you)
but I'm having trouble installing limewire from the rpm file. I have installed other programs from rpms so I know its possiable I just cant figure it out. when I try to install using KPackage I get the following errors. It seems to me like the x11 libaries should have been installed when I installed linux did I screw something up?
Please help I really don't want to have to boot back into Winblows to use my programs.

You should have all of that, it may be beacuse you're using an rpm. See if the package you want is on LinuxPackages. If not, try converting it with rpm2tgz.
