Why is Java always so difficult to setup? Specifically speaking, I'm trying to install Limewire for a customer to appease her for trying a Linux desktop. Is there something that has to be configured in each user account to run Limewire?
I've created a file called java.sh in /etc/profile.d, which contains this : if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ]; then export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jre-1.4.1_01 export PATH="$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin" fi
This way I have the java executable in my path, and everything works fine. You may have to change the JAVA_HOME path, depending on your version. The only thing left is to add the symlink to the java web plugin into mozilla's plugin directory, but it has nothing to do with limewire :-)
Hope this helps
