Setting up a second instance of ES 6.7.2 on RHEL 6.10

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

All,
I am trying to set up a second instance of ES 6.7.2 on a single node( RHEL 6.10) using the tar.gz archive file. We already have the first instance using the RPM package and is working fine. We have to set up another instance to support our QA. I configured the elastcisearch.yml to use a different http and tcp port than the first set up and when I try to run the ./bin/elasticsearch from the $ES_HOME as the elasticsearch user, I get the following error "Could not find or load main class org.elasticsearch.tools.java_version_checker.JavaVersionChecker". I found a similar thread here Error: Could not find or load main class org.elasticsearch.tools.JavaVersionChecker and followed the same steps, but still get the same error. This is what see when running the bash -x./elasticsearch command

I am not running the ./bin//elasticsearch as root user. The error is when I run it using the elasticsearch user. The permissions on all the folders are as follows.

I am clueless at this point. I am trying to run this from a totally different directory path (something like /es_clusters/qa2/elasticsearch-6.7.2)
