This is apparantly a well-known issue, but I have been unable to find the solution. I have tried using a couple of other versions of Java in my path (jdk1.5.0_06 and jre1.6.0_02) to no avail.
Here's what I get:
[root@sddev01 root]# ./pcns221lnx.bin

libgcj-java-placeholder.sh
This script is a placeholder for the /usr/bin/java
master link required by jpackage.org conventions. libgcj's
rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools are now slave symlinks to these
masters, and are managed by the alternatives(8) system.
This change was necessary because the rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools
installed by previous versions of libgcj conflicted with symlinks
installed by jpackage.org JVM packages.
This script was designed to be overridden by the supported RHEL3 JRE
packages, java-1.4.2-bea and java-1.4.2-ibm. It is installed as an
alternative symlink as /usr/bin/java. It will override a third-party
(non-RHEL3) JRE's java command if the JRE's bin directory is listed
after /usr/bin in PATH. In that case, it is recommended that the
third-party JRE's bin directory be listed first in PATH instead.
