That's really strange that you are having that much trouble.  Here's what
I did to install java on RedHat 6:

install redhat (easier than Windows, btw)
uninstall kaffe (rpm -e kaffe<whatever>)
install jdk1.2-pre2 for linux

And everything worked from there.  Just to be sure, I even installed the
1.1.7 jdks, and they worked too.  The only one I didn't get to work was
jdk1.2-pre1
