You certainly have glibc.
I suggest you get
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/contrib/hurricane/i386/jdk-sn-1.1.6-1.2glibc.i386.rpm
which should install without any drama. If you have a fast connexion, you
could even do this:
rpm -i
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/contrib/hurricane/i386/jdk-sn-1.1.6-1.2glibc.i386.rpm
If you want online docs, your solaris docs are fine.
ps Quite likely you have libc as well: I understand it gets installed as a
compatibility measure as glibc isn't binary-compatible with libc. This
command will tell you:
rpm -q libc glibc
and maybe return
libc-5.3.12-24
glibc-2.0.7-19
