 |
|
I need a java vm (for limewire). I've tried to use the ones from sun and ibm. they emerge w/out errors, but they arem't detected. what do i need to do. I do have a script called java-config which outputs
| Code: | bash-2.05a# java-config
!!! No Java installation found
!!! Use --set-system-vm to select default system JVM
!!! Alternatively, use --set-user-vm to select default system JVM
bash-2.05a#
|
What do i need to do to enable it? I assume i nneed to symlink something into my PATH, but what? |

emerging the sun or ibm jdks won't install the programs. You need to manually do it. This is the last output from 'emerge ibm-jdk':
| Code: |
!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src_unpack, Line 2, Exitcode 0
!!! Please download IBMJava2-JRE-131.tgz from http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/dklx130/dklx130-p
!!! emerge aborting on usr/portage/dev-java/ibm-jre/ibm-jre-1.3.1-r1.ebuild.

So more than likely you do not actually have any java VM installed. |

| Even though it isn't listed you should still be able to set system and user default. I did with Blackdown-jre-1.3.1. IBM jre had problems with openoffice.org 1.0 installer and Blackdown had no problems. |

Read the instruction on the gentoo website about setting up java.
Very helpfull since i got LimeWire working with this guide. =)
There's a reason why people often say RTFM =P
No offense =) I just like these 4 letters. |

if you need to add java to your path, just edit your ~/.bashrc file to have the line
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/java/bin

You actually have to type this in the terminal before you run the install command on limewirelinux.bin.
| Code: | PATH=$PATH:/path/to/java/bin
sh ./LimeWireLinux |
Doing this is what enabled me to get the limewirelinux installer to see java is there. Worked fine. The install is somewhat slow so be patient with it it will install fine. |
