Try:

  $ which gcj

It should print something like <some_place>/bin/gcj. gcj will expect
libgcj.zip (libgcj.jar for a recent compiler) to be in <some_place>/share.

If it's not in there, you need to set CLASSPATH to point to an
existing libgcj.zip file. So you most likely should ask your toolsmith
whether libgcj was built and installed on your system; and if yes, where.
