Public bug reported:

Refer to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java

This documentation refers to ibm-java-ppc-jre-6.0-10.1 while IBM is
offering  ibm-java-ppc64-jre-6.0-14.0

The specific command line and error is:

[16:05:40][james@g5-powermac:~/Downloads]$sudo ./ibm-java-jre-6.0-14.0-linux-ppc64.bin 
Preparing to install...

./ibm-java-jre-6.0-14.0-linux-ppc64.bin: 2506: exec: /tmp/install.dir.21644/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: not found
[16:05:59][james@g5-powermac:~/Downloads]$

Curiously, /tmp/install.dir.21644/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java does
exist. I am not certain, but from the looks of the IBM documentation
there have been other changes to accommodate another distribution.
Apparently a VM or java session is trying to initiate and the java
installer applet is not finding its binary.
