Once those are in place, it's pretty smooth sailing. There is a gotcha in the rc3 source tarball: there's a readline4fix.c source file which needs a little modification because it's tied to readline 4.2 and Mandrake uses readline 4.3. Consequently, one gets unresolved link errors. The quick and dirty fix is to insert an #undef for HAVE_READLINE42 in that file, and recompile.

Hmm. That is very attractive. My u/l is 128K as well, and as of now there are only two outgoing connections (1k/s and 3k/s) but still it feels throttled. Nothing is gettting d/led, and urpmi is grabbing gtk-gnutella verrry slowly. > artist was available on the binary newsgroups, I wouldn't even bother > with gnutella.

I've got an old gnut but > last time I tried it couldn't find any files :(. I took the easy way out an installed a Mandrake gnutella client (gtk-gnutella-0.91.1-1plf rpm). Just start it and it works right out the box with default settings, tho it is highly configurable. Docs are sparse, but the GUI is fairly intuitive, and the tool tips for each setting are helpful, and give advice for optimum performance. I've never tried Limewire. Out of curiosity sparked by this thread, I d/l'd the mutella src.rpm. It won't build on current cooker 9.1, 'can't find readline.h', tho readline is installed. I know I could probly hack it to get it to build, but I didn't figure it was worth the hassle dealin with a 'not up to snuff for current Mandrake' app. Maybe somebody'll package it for Mandrake, but it appears to be just a fork from the already available and more mature gnutella clients anyhow. I also have DSL (1.5Mbit downlink). Gnutella traffic is heavy (stuff just being routed thru my IP), people can and have d/l'd lot's from me at around 10K/sec (128Kbit uplink). Since last night I've been tryin to d/l a not so popular artist for a friend, about 20 titles available. Seems the few that have them are on slow connections, or have 'em throttled down, or hops in between have their gnutella traffic throttled. I've gotten about half the files and the d/l rate is 1 to 3k/sec (slow ;) A fresh search from time to time (automatic, configurable) shows the files are still on connected systems, but there are large (hours) gaps between gettin files d/l'd. Then I'll get several in short order, one at a time since they've always been from the same IP. Anyhow, with gtk-gnutella any of the loads, gnutella traffic (i/o), up loads, and down loads can be throttled separately. With everything wide open, there's very little bandwith left for anything else, throttled down, 5K/s Gnutella traffic both in & out, 5K/s upload, d/l wide open ... it's like gnutella's not even running. Plenty of DSL bandwidth left for me ;) I'm servin up 12 gigs of mp3's, seems I give a heck of a lot more than I get ;) If this artist was available on the binary newsgroups, I wouldn't even bother with gnutella. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] LimeWire Problems
NO no java. I will say that on Mandrake it flew for me but on Xandros I can't get a connection up?? But I would say give it a try. The other option is gtk-gnutella, but I also had problems with it.

Well I don't know if its spyware but I certainly found mutella to be much faster!!! It does have a gui but I never set it up. You could always try it and if you don't like it dump it.

Re: [newbie] LimeWire Problems
Hi, I just installed LimeWire, and found it to be really good. It downloads files quickly, and searches are neat. But, I was wondering if it was spyware. If it is, then I may try Mutella.

Re: [newbie] LimeWire Problems
It's been a while since I messed with installing Java2, but I think I liked using the MDK version because it automatically mades the .bashrc entries. I could be wrong, though--like I said, it's been a while. I just remember the generalities: * Must have j2re. * Must not have Kaffe. * The Java bin directory must be in your PATH.

In earlier Mandrake distros they had some kind of java installed (Kaffe) and if you don't deleted that then the line above would give you still the old java executable. Because when Bash searches for a program (i.e. "java") it does so from left to right along your PATH and uses the first program that matches the given name. ( - That was my explanation anyway) If you use: PATH=/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/bin:$HOME/bin:$PATH With the old PATH at the end. Then you make sure that your new one is found before the old one. The other solution would be to make sure there is only one program called "java" in your PATH. > You definitely need Sun's j2re for it to work, and it won't work if you > have kaffe installed as well. You could work with Kaffe and have the rt.jar or classes.jar in your Java Classpath (=the PATH for java). Kaffe is fine - they just do not have the framework, it is only a runtime. But it is a bit of a hassle. Sun's Java is easier to handle. b. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] LimeWire Problems
Hi, Miark is right. I am just being a bit more elaborate. It could be an issue of the version of your java executable or it could be that your java is not in your PATH. On Tuesday 18 February 2003 00:57, Miark wrote: > Which Java is installed? I think you need the j2re for it to work, > which you can download from MandrakeClub. According to the Limewire website, you need at least 1.3.1 (JRE) installed. You can get the JRE from club and also from the Sun web site at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/jre/ Java needs to be in your PATH so if you type "java -version" in a terminal you should get something like this: java version "1.4.1_01" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode) To get the java executable in your PATH, you need to add the line: export PATH=/path/to/java/bin:$PATH either in the file .bashrc in your $HOME directory (for this user alone) or in /etc/bashrc (for all users) You then start Limewire with: java -jar /path/to/LimeWire.jar That worked for me, good night. b.

Re: [newbie] LimeWire Problems
You need to also make sure that the path to j2re is in your ~/.bash_profile for it to work. My ~/.bash_profile has: PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/bin You definitely need Sun's j2re for it to work, and it won't work if you have kaffe installed as well.
