If you have not installed red hat 7.1, there is a major bug which effects
sun java, and kills ibm's java. There is a workaround, though. I am posting
this to save all of us some grief.
Here is the link explaining the bug:

The workaround only works for the jdk1.3.1-rc1 from sun...all previous
releases won't work.
Here's the workaround:
1. su root
2. ln -sf /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 /lib/i686/libpthread.so
3. /sbin/ldconfig
This seems to work for me. Workaround is courtesy of huanghui1 on the bug
parade.
