Maybe it would be better to compile both java and jhandles with the
same JDK. Make sure first that java package works fine:

l = java_new('java.util.LinkedList')

This means that libjvm.so is located at
/home/scott/apps/jdk1.6.0_06/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so

If this is not the case, then JAVA_HOME is wrongly defined.

No, I think it tells you that it can't find the native libraries coming
with JOGL. For instance under Windows, I have 4 DLL's: gluegen-rt.dll,
jogl.dll, jogl_awt.dll and jogl_cg.dll. Those must be available for the
dynamic linker (under Windows, this means in PATH). Under Linux,
you have equivalent .so libraries (maybe not the 4th one) and they
should be available from LD_LIBRARY_PATH
