This is a bug in the package.  It became noarch back in February but
that means that the %{_libdir} reference in the specfile gets turned
into /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 depending on the architecture of the _build_
machine.  That'll need to be changed to do some uname checking before
setting the classpath.  Alternatively, the package can go back to being
arch-specific but that may have ramifications beyond the other simple
fix.

Please open a bug here so we can track this.  Thanks for discovering it.
