CentOS - Aug 2011 - java permission denied

Hey guys,

 I just tried installing jdk 1.0.7 on my centos 5.6 box and I am getting a
permission denied error when I try to display the java version.



[root at VIRTCENT09:/usr/lib] #ln -s /usr/lib/jdk1.7.0 /etc/alternatives/jdk
[root at VIRTCENT09:/usr/lib] #ln -s /usr/lib/jdk1.7.0/bin/java
/etc/alternatives/java
[root at VIRTCENT09:/usr/lib] #ln -s /etc/alternatives/java /usr/bin/java
[root at VIRTCENT09:/usr/lib] #java -version
Error: dl failure on line 875
Error: failed /usr/lib/jdk1.7.0/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so, because
/usr/lib/jdk1.7.0/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so: cannot restore segment prot
after reloc: Permission denied


I tried opening up the permissions every step of the way along the path to
/usr/lib/jdk1.7.0/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so but no luck so far.


I would certainly appreciate any advice you'd be willing to provide!

thanks!!

What are your SELinux settings?  Are there any messages in 
/var/log/audit/audit.log

It's running fine here with the Oracle rpms but I'm not using the
alternatives stuff.

I have

export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/default"

and symlinks like so

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Aug  4 11:25 /usr/bin/java ->
/usr/java/default/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Aug  4 11:25 /usr/bin/javac ->
/usr/java/default/bin/javac
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Aug  4 11:25 /usr/bin/javadoc ->
/usr/java/default/bin/javadoc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Aug  4 11:25 /usr/bin/javaws ->
/usr/java/default/bin/javaws
