Help! Java setup anyone?

[Jeff Mayrand <mayrandj@xxxxxxxx>]

Hay all,

  Trying to get the JDK 1.3.0_02 to run.  I read through the docs at 
www.sun.com and it all looks simple.  Run a shell script which checks the 
file validity, install the RPM, then set the path to /install/location/bin 
but if I try and do something simple like java -version I get the following 
error:

/usr/java/jdk1.3.0_02/bin/java: /usr/bin/cut: No such file or directory
/usr/java/jdk1.3.0_02/bin/i386/native_threads/java: error while loading 
shared libraries: libjvm.so: cannot load shared object file: No such file or 
directory

So I checked back at the sun site to make sure I didn't skip any steps (nope 
all to a T)  so what gives?  Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff Mayrand
