Limewire site? YaSt install?

[ron72401]

Hey Ya'll,

I'd like to install Limewire using YaSt but don't know if there is a site I can point YaSt too. Anyone know of one?

If there isn't a site out there has anyone installed Limewire without YaSt?

Thanks for the reply.

You should be able to just download the RPM from their site and double-click to install it with YaST. Here's a link I found:

Hey Techiemoe,

when I do, I get the following error

Limewire free requires j2re >= 1.4.1-

So I guess my question is how do I resolve this dependency conflict?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

1. cd to the directory where it is located

2. become root

3. code

rpm -Uvh --nodeps LimeWireLinux.rpm


this will resolve the dependency conflict

I do not recommend doing this. Rather than resolving the conflict, the "--nodeps" option simply ignores them. This will result in a broken package and possibly a borked system. I recommend installing what the RPM asked for, a version of the JRE 1.4 or greater. If your distro doesn't have official RPMs for it, you can download it directly from Sun:

Yes this is true, but its what Limewire recomends, and it does work this way at least for me . see here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=39879

Ok. I don't recommend doing this for any other software though.

Hey geese and techiemoe,

I finally got Limewire working. Thanks for the help. Just so readers will know the command to tell the system to ignore dependencies still wouldn't let me install Limewire. I went to the Jave site and downloaded the JRE 1.4, installed it and then Limewire installed as it should.

Again, thanks folks, appreciate the help.
