Hi,
I had limewire on FC4, and I had installed java 1.4.2 manually on it then! Now FC5 comes preloaded with java development kit (JDK).....and i can compile java programs and run them.
The version is 1.4.2. But installing limewire it says java 1.4.1 is needed as dependency.
I dont wanna install java manually again. Can the existing java be used for limewire install somehow?

See this has been posted before too. You forgot to search.
If it's a rpm of limewire just pass --nodeps option to it
Code:
rpm -ivh --nodeps <filename>
