Well, you can have them both installed concurrently and see which works better for you, I may suggest you update Lime/FrostWire to the latest version and see what happens.

OK, updated to 4.12.11. Sadly, no changes.

I have looked for help in a few places and can't find much that my mediocre skills can understand. I saw your tutorial and maybe you know what to do. I have a couple different versions of Java installed i think. Here is the code I get when I type "frostwire" in the terminal:

Code:

]$ frostwire
Starting FrostWire...
Java exec found in PATH. Verifying...
OOPS, you don't seem to have a valid JRE. FrostWire works best with Sun JRE available at http://www.java.com
OOPS, unable to locate java exec in  /usr/lib/  hierarchy
You need to upgrade to JRE 1.5.x or newer from http://www.java.com
Java exec found in  /usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/bin/
Suitable java version found  [/usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/bin/java = 1.6.0_02]
Configuring environment...
Loading FrostWire:

Something went wrong with FrostWire.
Maybe you're using the wrong version of Java?
(FrostWire is tested against and works best with with Sun's JRE, Java 1.4+)
The version of Java in your PATH is:
java version "1.5.0"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 20070502 (Red Hat 4.1.2-12)

I don't know what to do. Frostwire worked before I installed some newer version. How do I uninstall the newer Java? Anyway, any help would be awesome and so much appreciated. Thanks.

man alternatives

Long explanation made short, you'll have to remove the Java version which is not working with it, and install the version you know works with it. Use the alternatives method for installing/uninstalling Java found at many Fedora reference sites (Stanton Finely's comes to mind).

I am having a really hard time with making Frostwire work with any version of Java I try. I don't care if it is outdated, but will somebody tell me EXACTLY which version of JRE I can use that for sure works? I would really appreciate it. I would also like to know how to add it as a plugin in Firefox. Thanks.

I am having the exact same problem as the OP and I followed the alternatives thing in the first post...

Code:

/usr/sbin/alternatives --display java

Code:

 link currently points to /opt/jre1.5.0_12/bin/java
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java - priority 1500
 slave keytool: /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/keytool
 slave rmiregistry: /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/rmiregistry
 slave jre_exports: /usr/lib/jvm-exports/jre-1.5.0-gcj
 slave jre: /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj
/opt/jre1.5.0_12/bin/java - priority 2
 slave keytool: (null)
 slave rmiregistry: (null)
 slave jre_exports: (null)
 slave jre: (null)
Current `best' version is /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java.

Could it be that the update 12 version of java is broken?

It could very well be it... Have you tried 1.6? (I have not)

jre1.6.0_02 works fine, but you have to install the libXp package.

If you use sudo then:

Code:

 sudo yum install libXp

Hope this helps you out.
