I finally solved this problem. Turns out the tip from Alexander was key 
to the solution. Only the LD_LIBRARY_PATH needs to point to a 
"compatible" jvm or you will get errors. When I executed the above 
commands using a 1.3.1 jvm the installation finally worked.

Alexander, thanks for you pointer (and your patience).

Just so the original problem is clear and problem and solution are in 
one place, I summarize what happened. I wanted to install Together 
Contol Center 6.1. The trouble started with the error message:

"/tmp/install.dir.12566/Linux/resource/jre/jre/bin/i386/native_threads/java: 
error while loading shared libraries: libjvm.so: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory
"

After fixing this with an LD_LIBRARY as above I got the following error 
message:

"
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: 
/tmp/install.dir.14985/Linux/resource/jre/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so: 
symbol __libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with 
link time reference
"

The final commands were:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/java/jre1.3.1_13/lib/i386/client:/usr/java/jre1.3.1_13/lib/i386/"; 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_PRELOAD="/home/abonnema/tcc6_1/libcwait.so" ./tcc6.1lin.bin

(The LD_LIBRARY_PATH plus export is on one line).

Hope this helps someone save some time.

Guus.
