Problem Installing LimeWire

**Lixus Looser** · 12-16-2004, 05:02 AM

After about two hours of dinking around I thought I finally had Java successfully installed on my Fedora Core 3 machine. Then I went to install Limewire and this is what I got. Any translations please? ???

Code:

[john@localhost ~]$ ./LimeWireLinux.bin
Preparing to install...
tail: `-1&#039; option is obsolete; use `-n 1&#039;
Try `tail --help&#039; for more information.

I havent seen that before....but I have noticed that Limewire "locks up" frequently

first off, what happens when you type

java

THE EASIEST way of getting around that problem is to physically log on as root and then install limewire in the shell:

su
sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin

You'll get sent straight to the GUI installation.
