How can I install gcj? Do I need to recompile gcc?

I have a system with gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3) and another with gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)

Running gcj on both systems gives "command not found" message.

Update:

One of my system responded to yum command (It is a CentOS disto) but gives:

root@m454:~# yum install gcj
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: centosf3.centos.org
 * updates: centosu.centos.org
 * addons: centosu.centos.org
 * extras: centosu.centos.org

You probably need to install the gcj package. If you're using Red Hat, fire up Terminal and something like this should work:

yum update
yum install gcj (or java-gcj-compat)

This works perfectly on CentOS (5.whatever) – user59022 Dec 13 '10 at 16:20
