              LIMEWIRE 3.7.9 LINUX and UNIX README
              ====================================

To run LimeWire 3.7.9, you will first need to install the 
Java2TM Runtime Environment, v 1.3.1.  You can find these 
downloads at:

    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/jre/

The InstallAnywhere installer will create a launcher for you, 
but this can occasionally fail.  If it fails, then you should 
be able to run LimeWire by typing "sh runLime.sh" in your 
LimeWire directory.  (Make sure you do this in the directory
where you installed LimeWire.)


If that doesn't work, you can also run LimeWire by typing 
    java -jar LimeWire.jar
or 
    java -cp .:collections.jar:xerces.jar:jl011.jar:MessagesBundles.jar:themes.jar:logicrypto.jar:GURL.jar com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Main

in your LimeWire directory.  In either case, you will first want
set the J2SE_PREEMPTCLOSE environment variable to 1.  With the
bash shell, use the command "export J2SE_PREEMPTCLOSE=1".  For
more information on this, see:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/relnotes.html#vm


We sincerely hope you enjoy using our product.


Best Wishes,
LimeWire Team
