In worst case, notify your system administrator.

This kind of error often indicates an incomplete system update
were libraries are "out of date" or missing. What way of system
update has been performed?

That can be a side effect, maybe some accidentally overwritten
configuration file or a program that's unable to run due to a
missing dependency?

What happens if you manually define those variables to the proper
valies and try again, e. g.

	# setenv JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/<where your JAVA stuff is>
	# setenv JRE_HOME=/usr/local/<where your runtime lives>
	# bin/startup,sh

Does this produce a different result?

That command doesn't make sense. The prompt indicates that you
are already root. The -c parameter for the su command is missing
an argument, the class". See "man su" for details, no programming
knowledge required. ;-)
