I downloaded j2sdk and installed on my linux box. It was a .bin file to be exact j2sdk-1.4.2-nb-3.5-bin-linux.bin. The installation went through properly. I installed it on the opt directory because it was the default directory. Now I went on and tried to install the LimeWire software. When I tried to do so it was giving me and eror that it could not find the vm. The exact error is given below 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.
Now I dont know what to do. I think I need to redirect the path for the VM or something. If anyone has any suggestion, Please help me

You need to type
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/j2sdk1.4.2/bin
(assuming that your VM is installed in /opt/j2sdk1.4.2 )
This adds the directory to your PATH variable (Windows has exactly the same concept and it means exactly the same as it does in Windows). It will only work for the current shell unless you add it to the end of /etc/profile or somewhere like that.
