Okay.  I don't have a good solution, but here's what I do to run
LimeWire:  Download the "LimeWireOther.zip" file from their official
site <http://www.limewire.com>, extract it to a directory, and run the
"runLime.sh" script inside the "LimeWire" directory.

        unzip LimeWireOther.zip
        cd LimeWire
        sh runLime.sh &

It did work for me without problems (though, I used it for testing and
didn't spend a lot of time with it.  I would say I used it for about 15
minutes).

Ziyad.
