The fact that you've compiled and installed libgcj says that your gcj
works.  So, you need to give us more information.

I assume that in both the gcc directory and the libjava directory,
you've configured then done a "make" and then a "make install".

I assume that gcj is in your path.

So, when you try to do "gcj HelloWorld.java" or somesuch, please run
the compiler with the "-v" option so we can see what the exact
symptoms are.  We need to see the output of that command.

Also, please have a look to see if libgcj.spec is anywhere in your
/home/user/gcc tree.

Yes.  :-)
