Hmmm, this is strange.  Do an "ls -l /usr/bin/cut"... it is there right?  I take it bin/java is a shell script?

>/usr/java/jdk1.3.0_02/bin/i386/native_threads/java: error while loading

Do an "ldd /usr/java/jdk1.3.0_02/bin/i386/native_threads/java" ... what do you see?  Where is libjvm.so?  You may need to add the JDK library to /etc/ld.so.conf and rerun /sbin/ldconfig, to teel the system where to look to find the libraries.  I would imagine that a well constructed RPM should have done all this for you.

Did the JDK require the JRE?  Usually JDKs include the JRE.
