Well, this is the last line in (probably) multiline feedback from
SuperCollider so it is impossible to know _why_ that is happening. 

What happens if you do, in a terminal:
(this is what I get in my fc10 laptop):

$ which java|xargs ls -l|awk '{print $10}'|xargs ls -l 

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2009-08-07 17:35 /etc/alternatives/java
-> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java

What happens if you manually do, in a terminal:

java -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -jar
"/usr/share/SuperCollider/SwingOSC/SwingOSC.jar" -t 57111 -L -i -h
127.0.0.1:57120

(all in one line, this would start the SwingOSC server)

Two things:
- which version of qjackctl do you have installed?
  to find out: rpm -q qjackctl 

there is something wrong with the versions of packages you have
installed, qjackctl is not finding a symbol when it tries to start, it
could be because you have older packages installed than what it needs.
Have you tried to install it manually in the past?

- why are you running as root? That is not necessary and certainly not
recommended. You need to run _everything_ as a normal user (ie: don't
start something in one account and try to use it from another.
