Jython is not very sensitive to the OS: in many ways, Jython treats Java as the platform, rather than the OS. I believe it runs on AIX and HP Linux but haven't done that myself.

The error message you quote is characteristic of not being able to run Java. Assuming you can run Jython straightforwardly at the command prompt, it may be that down in your test framework the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in effect when you launch Java (or the jython launch script) does not include the location of libjava.so. Or it may be JAVA_HOME that is at fault.

At the moment it looks like your problem occurs before you get as far as Jython. Let us know whether furher investigation still points to Jython.
