JDK / Forte

[Pete Bradbury <pete s bradbury btinternet com>]

I've been unable to run Forte on RH7.1.  I've installed SUn 
j2sdk-1.3.0_02-linux.bin in the /sur/local directory
and I 've set the path in my /root/.bashrc file

# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias mv='mv -i'

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
  . /etc/bashrc
fi
# by Sun Microsystems setup
DBROOT=/root/adabas
DBWORK=/root/adabas/sql
DBCONFIG=/root/adabas/sql
# next line altered by me

JAVA_PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.3.0_02

PATH=$DBROOT/bin:$DBROOT/pgm:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DBROOT/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export DBROOT DBWORK DBCONFIG PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH JAVA_PATH

and I've installed Forte and  set the /root/.bash_profile
# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
  . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/jdk1.3.0_02/bin
BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
USERNAME="root"

export USERNAME BASH_ENV PATH JAVA_PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.3.0_02

but using runide and typing y for yes after a warning me I am using 
runide as a root user  just
causes the terminal window to hang.

Is there a problem with what I have done or is it a problem with this 
version of red hat?
