Linewire Install Mandrake 8.1

[sbailey12]

I am trying to install Limewire but I am having some trouble when I do the
sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin
I am getting the following error:
ERROR unrecognized JVM specific option...This Java Application has encountered and error and will close...
I have gone out and downloaded JAVA and ran the rpm which looked like it installed without a hitch. It looks like it was installed to /usr/bin. I downloaded limewire to /home/shawn which is a directory I setup, I have tried to install it from that directory as well as copying it over to /usr/bin and trying there as well. I am relatively new to running commands in the shell, although I usually don't have problems installing rpms and the such. Can somebody give me a step by step process as to what I need to do to get this program running. Is there something else I need to do with Java other than run the rpm?

Thanks,

Seems like your $PATH is not set for java.
Open a terminal and type:
echo $PATH
Look to see for the java path
Should be something like /usr/java/jrex.x.x_xx/bin

If you dont have it edit your .bashrc file in your favourite text editor
scroll down to the path extension and add the path .

it's probably something like
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin....
So just add
:/usr/java/jre.../bin

NB: check to see the path to bin before you add it
and also make sure you add the : .. that is the valid separator in Linux

OK, I went into the bashrc file under /root directory and made the change as was described above. I went back out to the shell, re-typed $PATH and it was now showing the path to java. I tried running the LimeWireLinux.bin file again but got the same error:

$sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin
Preparing to install...

Error: Unrecognized JVM specific option `Xmx50331648'.
