Hello,
I have been trying to install LimeWire 4.8.1 on FC4 and had firsttried to install jre-1_5, only to receive an error stating that java-1_4_2-gcj-compat is need first. I tried to install this, only to receive an error message that the same (java-1_4_2-gcj-compat) is already installed. I'm guessing that this is a problem with Java, however, I had successfully installed jre-1_5 in FC4t3 but am now unable to do so. Is there a reason for this? I tried to install J2re-1_4_2 and did so successfully. However, when I click on LimeWire, I receive an error message stating that it cannot connect to the internet. How do I resolve this and is anyone else coming up with the same problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you read the release notes about this?: ... Fedora Core 4 users are advised not to use the Java RPM provided by Sun. It contains Provides that conflict with names used in packages provided as part of Fedora Core 4. Because of this, Sun Java might disappear from an installed system during package upgrade operations.
Fedora Core 4 users should use either the RPM from jpackage.org or manually install the Sun Java tarball into /opt. Sun Java 1.5+ is recommended for stability purposes. ...
