If the problem is Java related, the following information might be
relevant. Not sure if it applies to your particular flavor of RH 7.0,
though.
RedHat 7.1 has some known issues with Java. For this reason, many Java
software packages do not yet support RedHat 7.1. However, the NetBeans
3.2 README.html file contains some potentially helpful information about
running Java on RedHat 7.1:
RedHat 7.1 contains updated versions of glibc and libpthread libraries
tailored to a specific processor type. Those libraries cause java VMs
from Sun and IBM (and maybe others) to hang up or crash. You can do
one of the following:
1. Edit the wrapper script that launches java VM. It's named
$jdk_home/bin/java - or simply type
pico `which java`
Add a statement
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
at the beginning of the script (after the leading comments)
2. Edit $netbeans_root/bin/runide.sh and add the above statement
at the beginning of the script
The above seems to work. It probably also applies to Mandrake 8.
