I believe a major issue is the JNI interface... even on a specific
platform like RHEL6 there can be any of a rather wide range of different
java's installed, openjdk 1.6, openjdk 1.7, or any of various Sun Java
SE or EE builds, or even (ARRRGH) GCJ...... the JNI components need to
be linked to a specific one of these to function properly.
