That all looks pretty much normal.  Unless you've got LD_LIBRARY_PATH set
up to do so, ldd isn't going to find libjvm.so (and you don't actually
want LD_LIBRARY_PATH set up that way under normal circumstances).

Unlikely.  If /usr/local/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/amd64/{client,server}/libjvm.so
exist then your installation is fine.

You should find out where Opera is expecting this to exist.  As a hack
you could try setting up LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have libjvm.so in it, but
thats not the real fix.
