JAVA VM

upon trying to install limewire, i got this fatal error from kde...
[code:1]
[seb@shadowfax downloads]$ sh LimeWireLinux.bin
Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...
No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH
environment variable. You must install a VM prior to
running this program.
[/code:1]

now this is funn, because i KNOW that i do have java installed, as i d/l it from sun.com and installed. I am just unaware of how to add it to my path...

Hmm. I find it strange that it's talking about PATH.
Normally it's the JAVA_HOME variable that's looked at.
Anyway, on my system I have the following
in my config files:
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.1.02
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
(adjust JAVA_HOME to your system of course)

Note: The JAVA_HOME must contain the install directory
but the PATH variable must point to the bin sub directory.

I kept my answer vague on this point as I haven't added it myself
but Gentoo did it in some of its own nonstandard config files...

But adding it to .bashrc in your home directory should work.
