A couple of things you might try.. 1) Make sure you cd to /opt/fedora-ds before you do the startconsole command. It seems that there's some hard coded library paths and it won't work unless you execute it from the fedora-ds directory. 2) if #1 doesn't work, make sure you have your JAVA_HOME environment variable set correctly.
