Are you using Fedora Core 4? Have you installed Sun's JVM too?
If you're using JPackage, build an RPM out of the zip:
http://jpackage.org/rpm.php?id=2607 and then install it.
I also use the below script to link the Java3d files into the default
JVM, otherwise you need to do something like this:

cd /usr/share/java3d/demo/java3d/TextureTest
java -cp `build-classpath-directory /usr/share/java/java3d`:./
-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib MultiTextureTest

 
#!/bin/sh

# or switch to a JRE since /usr/lib/jvm/java is a link
# /usr/lib/jvm/java -> /etc/alternatives/java_sdk

for i in $(rpm -ql java3d | grep '.so$' ); do
        ln -s $i /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/i386
done

for i in $(rpm -ql java3d | grep '.jar$' ); do
        ln -s $i /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/ext
done

I don't know, though you can certainly try.
