Could you tell us more about what you have been doing to make it work.
Have you used alien and created a .deb out of the .rpm provided by IBM,
or untarred the tarball somewhere. If so, where did you put it ? In /opt
as the tarball seemed to want it, or somewhere else ?

For me, when unpacking the JDK .tgz somewhere, setting JAVA_HOME to it,
and then trying out jboss 3.2.2 for example, it dies with :

$ bin/run.sh

  JBoss Bootstrap Environment

  JBOSS_HOME: /home/luther/java/jboss-3.2.2

  JAVA: /home/luther/java/IBMJava2-ppc-141/bin/java

  JAVA_OPTS:  -Dprogram.name=run.sh

  CLASSPATH: /home/luther/java/jboss-3.2.2/bin/run.jar:/home/luther/java/IBMJava2-ppc-141/lib/tools.jar

So, i wonder what i am doing different from you here, since you are
clearly telling it works for you.
