JDK for Linux on a PE 7150

[Wes Kurdziolek]

You need to install the compat-* RPMs from your Red Hat CDs or local mirror. 
The binaries look to be built against GNU libc 2.1, not 2.2, and the Red Hat 
compat-* RPMs provide those libraries for compatibility w/ applications linked 
against "legacy" libraries. Unfortunately, Red Hat hasn't installed those RPMs 
by default since Red Hat 7.0 when everything in the distribution was bleeding 
edge.
