Just upgraded my limewire pro installation witch is a pice of software i have used for meny years. How ever some distebing things on the horizan thay now no longer ship a linux rpm only debts ?. So i had to down load the other linux witch is basical a zip file with the jars in it. Luckaly if you unzip the arcive localy and copy it over your privaus rpm in stall witch on my fc6 system was in /usr/lib/Limewire. It should work how ever the runLimewire.sh supplied with the new limewire have control codes in it (witch not showup under most editeds) but can be seen in a hex editer the codes are /r (hench the 🙂 as i,m well know for puting rs in to words as i write. This time i had to renove the /rs 🙂 .

To do this in one shell window vi the runLimewire.sh in a new shellwindow vi a new temp file. copy using the third mouse button methos (or two button emuation) from the old in to the new. this only copies the seeable text and removes the othendings /rs. save the new file. rename the old file copy the new file in to the /usr/lib/Limewire dir, rename and you may have to change the writes chmod 755.

For me this has work and i can now run new limewire from my old start buttion.
