Hello,

Jython is an implementation of the Python language in Java, so it will run 
on any platform that can run a JVM.

>From the information that you have provided, it seems that Jython cannot 
find libjava.so.

The Jython docs suggest that Jython's behaviour can be influenced by the 
value of the environmental variable JAVA_HOME 
(http://www.jython.org/docs/using/cmdline.html#environment-variables).

Have you checked that $JAVA_HOME is set to a suitable value for the user 
that is running Jython?

My JAVA_HOME:

kev at pluto ~/Download  echo $JAVA_HOME                                                                                                     
/usr/lib64/jvm/java  

If I download the jython 2.5.3 jar and run a simple test script I get:

kev at pluto ~/Download  java -jar jython.jar jtest.py

Hello Jython world!  

So I think you need to check your environment.
