It's the fact that Debian 2.0 uses glibc, whereas AIM is linked against libc5.
Get the jdk1.1-runtime package and install it. Then set the JAVA_HOME shell
variable in your .bashrc or .tcshrc:
bash: export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jdk1.1"
tcsh: setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/lib/jdk1.1
If that doesn't get things working, lemme know.
P.S.: I rarely use bash, so anyone seeing any problems with my syntax
please correct me ;)
