Putting Java in the path for Limewire

[fryemo]

I am trying to install Limewire. I am running Fedora7. After unzipping the LimeWireOther.zip file the program wont run. I get the following error message
[root@jfryelocalhost LimeWire]# sh ./runLime.sh
: command not found5:
: No such file or directory
: command not found9:
: command not found23:
'/runLime.sh: line 24: syntax error near unexpected token `
'/runLime.sh: line 24: `look_for_java()
I think it is because java is not in the path
how do I put java in the path? I am running JRE 1.6.0.2 and it is installed and running.

It would help if you could quote the first few lines of runLine.sh, so we can see what line 5 does.
Assuming "the path" is the path of the users shell, you can add a command to the users .bashrc file to add things to the path. I think if you used the advanced search feature of the forum and search for "bashrc", you can find examples of how to do this. Let us know if you need more specific directions.

Here is the first few ine of the runLime.sh file. also I am running jre 1.6.0.2 and it is running with no problems.
#!/bin/bash
#
# Runs LimeWire. This script must be executed in your LimeWire
# install directory.

# this should allow starting limewire from
# gui-based explorer interfaces
cd "`dirname "$0"`"
also I installed this program with the instructions below. It ran at first by using the ./runLime.sh command but would not run from the menu. I unfortunately uninstalled the program by deleting the directories and it wont re install. There are dependancies that won't resolve and I am assuming that it is a java problem but it may not be. This must have been caused when I deleted the limewire directories and tried to reinstall them.
unzip -u LimeWireOther.zip -d /opt/
rm -f LimeWireOther.zip
gedit /usr/bin/runLime.sh

* Insert the following lines into the new file

cd /opt/LimeWire/
./runLime.sh

* Save the edited file

chmod +x /usr/bin/runLime.sh
gedit /usr/share/applications/LimeWire.desktop

* Insert the following lines into the new file

[Desktop Entry]
Name=LimeWire
Comment=LimeWire
Exec=runLime.sh
Icon=/opt/LimeWire/LimeWire.ico
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;

* Save the edited file

* Applications -> Internet -> LimeWire
if I need to edit the bashrc file can you give me the lines I need to add and I will use gedit.
thanks alot for your help

I can't make any correspondence between the error messages that you got and the lines in the script. It says command not found for line 5, but line 5 has no command.

The directions you quoted assume that you will put intallLimewire.sh in the /opt/LimeWire directory and run it from there.
Try running the script from the command line by using its full path:
/opt/LimeWire/runLime.sh

(Make sure that the file runLime.sh exists in the directory /opt/LimeWire )

When you need to add /mydirA/mydirB to your path, edit your .bashrc file and add the lines:

PATH=$PATH:/mydirA/mydirB
export PATH

But I don't know what what you need to add to your path yet. Are you running the script from a command line or from a gui interface?

[fryemo]

I am running the script from the command line. here is what I get when using the full path
[jfrye@jfryelocalhost LimeWire]$ cd /opt/LimeWire/runLime.sh
bash: cd: /opt/LimeWire/runLime.sh: Not a directory
Here is the contents of the LimeWire directory
[root@jfryelocalhost LimeWire]# ls
clink.jar httpcore.jar libtray.so README.txt
commons-httpclient.jar httpcore-nio.jar LimeWire.jar root
commons-logging.jar icu4j.jar limewire.js runLime.sh
commons-net.jar id3v2.jar log4j.jar SOURCE
commons-pool.jar jcraft.jar log4j.properties spacer.gif

data.ser jl011.jar MessagesBundles.jar vorbis.jar
foxtrot.jar jmdns.jar mp3sp14.jar xml.war
hashes libjdic.so ProgressTabs.jar
runLime.sh is a green font,root is a blue font, and spacer.gif is a purple font.
lines 5 and 9 of the runLime.sh file are indeed blank. could this be the problem?
I really appreciate your time. I have struggled with this for hours and hours to no avail. I could just use amule but I have this will not to be beaten by this problem.
thanks again,

PS. this is the error message trying to run from the LimeWire directory
[root@jfryelocalhost LimeWire]# ./runLime.sh
-bash: ./runLime.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Hello you are trying to run the run command it should be

java -jar LimeWire.jar

[Dangermouse]

sorry i wasnt very clear, im guessing you downloaded 'other' from limewire's site just unzip it cd to the directory and run the command i stated above, obviously with root privalages ./runLime.sh s wrong although at first glance i can see why you thought that.

[fryemo]

Thanks a million! it worked. Eureka.
