Yes, gcj is not sufficient.

For GeoServer 1.6.5 you need Sun JDK 1.4.2 , but newer versions will 
give you better performance.

Please look for Fedora 4 guides, here is one: 
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc4.html . However, make 
sure you get the JDK, not the JRE.

ps. please keep conversation on list.
