You can get around this by setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 in your environment.

This happens because even though the installer is a java app, it calls native libraries via JNI to perform tasks like changing file permission, copying files etc. The native libraries are compiled against the glibc in RHAS and are not compatible with the glibc 2.3.2 in RH9.
