I believe that gcc-java is a java compiler.  Not a JVM.

The software is probably looking for the "java" binary that implements
the Java Virtual Machine.

If I remember correctly gcc-java compiles Java source into actual
executables, not Java byte code.

You can download the Java Runtime Environment (RTE) from
http://java.sun.com/

They also have the full Java Software Developement Kit (SDK), if
you are going to compile Java source.

Java source ends in ".java".  Java byte code is ".class".
And, an archive of multiple ".class" files is a ".jar".
