Sure. Red Hat Linux 7 includes gcj and libgcj. Offhand I don't know
what the packages are called (I was only indirectly involved in making
them). If you go this route you don't get the absolute latest
versions, but you get something pretty good.
Anthony has built RPMs for RH 6.2. I don't know when he last did
this. You can download these from the ftp site (there should be a
pointer from the web page).
We hope to release updated RPMs for RH 7 as time goes on, but there's
no guarantees we will. It depends on how much time we have, etc.
