This looks like it can't find this in the library.path. Try to set
LD_PRELOAD to the right dir or start java with -Dlibrary.path=... (or
so, I'm not sure about the right syntax of that). If that helps,
install a short script, which does this and install that as
/usr/bin/java. anyway, I can't really see, *why* this can happen. :(

Usually:
Install the tar, setup the alternatives and teh dummy package
and be done.

As a last resort: setup a script as /usr/bin/java
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/.../java "$@"
