Looks good, but no guarantee.
How did you install the java pkg?
- By downloading from Ubuntu repository, or
- Compiling / installing yourself?
The java pkg can be installed even with compilation errors but won't
work then, usually if the (proper) JVM wasn't found.

There you go.

For cracks as well, don't worry :-)
By coincidence, several weeks ago Martin Helm posted in the help-octave
ML about installing the java pkg on a 64-bit OpenSUSE (IIRC):

Namely /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun/lib/amd64/client does not exist but only
/usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun/lib/amd64/server and needs to be symlinked.
</QUOTE>
As your system says "No such file or directory" I suppose you hit this
issue.
So, apparently you might need to make the appropriate symlink....
(in ...../amd/ make a symlink "client" pointing to "server/",
ln -s client server or ln -s server client - I always forget the
right order, sorry)
(this is one of those gotcha's a novice won't be able to solve by
him-/herself).
Try that, and report back, please...
