Cerejo" Message-Id: <20020313043559.A3EF05E56@server3.safepages.com> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG After searching the FreeBSD help groups trying to find help to install limewire I decided to go at it for myself and somehow I got it running and it's not crashing either and here's what I did: I downloaded the executable from tucows.com and made it executable by running this command ' #chmod 755 LimeWireLinux.bin ' then I executed the file with ' #./LimeWireLinux.bin ' and it complained about some VM thing not being in the path which later I found out it was looking for JRE and because I had just installed linux-netscape6 and I remembered I had chosen JRE as one of the plugins I had to have it installed and I ended up finding JRE in /usr/local/lib/linux-netscape6/plugins/java2/bin/ so I added this directory to my PATH and because I'm running the csh I added it to the .cshrc file, loged out and loged back in and tried to run the executable again and the installation began without any problems. The installation path defaulted to /root/limewire17 so I changed it to /usr/share/limewire/ and everything went fine. Then I could not find /usr/share/limewire/ directory and only after a while I found out that it actually installed in /usr/compat/linux/usr/share/limewire, don't ask me why because I don't know. Created a link of /usr/compat/linux/usr/share/limewire/LimeWire17 to my /usr/local/bin so it could be in my Path and that was it. It runs without any problems and much better than any other one available from the ports. If you don't have netscape6 installed you might try installing JRE from the ports and then add the JRE directory which I think is this one ' /usr/local/jdk1.1.8/bin ' to your path and pkg-descr file says that you should have your kernel built with this option ' SYSVSEM ' also. There's also the linux versions of JRE so do whatever works for you. I hope this helps someone trying to install it also and hope I'm not off topic. Cheers, E. J. C.
