Do you have any environment variables (such as JAVA_HOME) set?
JAVA_HOME is a common problem.
The other problem could be due to having the wrong libc/glibc version
of the JRE. Since you are RedHat, you should make sure you have the
glibc version (glibc also happens to work the best)

Which tar file did you use? I just tried the jre_1.1.7-v1a-glibc-x86.tar.gz
file that we built and "tar -zxf jre..." and then made the jre117_v1a/bin
directory part of the path and typed "jre"

You may wish to check that the jre command is the one you think it is.
which jre
should return the file .../jre117_v1a/bin/jre
