I installed J64-806 on Centos 7, activated AVX and ran the jhs installer script.

The installer script created 3 icons, jc806, jhs806 and jqt806. jqt806 worked fine. Both jc806 and jhs806 failed with "There was an error launching the application."

The commands in the icons were as follows:

jc806: x-terminal-emulator -e "\"/home/me/Downloads/j64-806/bin/jconsole\""
jhs806: x-terminal-emulator -e "\"/home/me/Downloads/j64-806/bin/jconsole\" ~addons/ide/jhs/config/jhs.cfg"

I tried the same commands in a terminal window and was told that x-terminal-emulator was not found.

I did some research and found that x-terminal-emulator does not exist for Centos 7 and that the simplest fix was to replace x-terminal-emulator in the command strings with gnome-terminal, as I have Gnome installed.

The updated commands now worked but generated the following message for jconsole and jhs:

/home/me/Downloads/j64-806/bin/jconsole: /lib64/libtinfo.so.5: no version information available (required by /home/me/Downloads/j64-806/bin/jconsole)

This message did not stop jconsole from running.

jhs also had this message:

sh: x-www-browser: command not found

A bit more research found that this could be fixed in ide/jhs/core.jhs by 
replacing:

  case. 'Linux'  do. 2!:0'x-www-browser ',url,' >/dev/null &'

with

  case. 'Linux'  do. 2!:0'xdg-open ',url,' >/dev/null &'

A different general fix for the URL open might be to parse the result of this command:

$ cat /usr/share/applications/defaults.list | grep http
x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop

and plug in firefox, for example.
