Installing WL6.0 sp2 on RedHat 7.1 - Error

Question

How can I install BEA Weblogic Server 6.0 sp2 on RedHat 7.1. I have tried several
of the fixes that have been mentioned here to no avail.
I have the Sun JDK 1.3.1 for Linux on the system.
I have the link to cut set up:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jul 12 10:16 /usr/bin/cut -> /bin/cut
I have run the following and still get the error:
# export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
# sh weblogic600sp2_linux.bin -i console
Preparing to install...
weblogic600sp2_linux.bin: line 1: 24167 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
/tmp/install.dir.23184/Solaris/resource/jre/jre/bin/java -Djava.compiler=NONE
com.zerog.lax.LAX "/tmp/install.dir.23184/temp.lax" /tmp/env.properties.23184
"-i" "console"
Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a workaround previously posted to the newsgroup:

Found it. Same problem as on Oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat 7.1.
1. Install the compat* RPMs from the RedHat 7.1 CD1 and CD2. These RPMs
allow compatibility with RedHat 6.2.
2. Put the following two statements in your environment prior to running
the install.
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
. /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh
These two statements will allow you to run your shell in a 6.2compatibility
mode, for glibc 2.1.3 instead of the new glibc 2.2.2 libs.
It sounds to me like Sun needs to update the JDKs to support the new glibc
and the 2.4 kernel. I'm not sure this is even BEA's problem?

I installed jdk 1.3.1 from java.sun.com on a RedHat 7.1 O/S.
Originally, I was not pointing to the JDK correctly. I fixed the PATH,
CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME, JAVA_PATH to point to the jdk1.3.1 dir.
Then I got an error saying that cut could not be found in /usr/bin, so I
ln -s /bin/cut cut in the /usr/bin directory.
I ran the install script a 3rd time and I'm seeing a [<defunct>] for myJava
VM in a ps -aef entry, which is in the process list along with the WLS
6.0
SP1 install bin file. I will try it one more time, but it's not looking
good.

You need to install the JDK 1.3.1 to have wls 6.0 working.
The JDK could be found at the developpers zone at javasoft.
