What does "which java_exit" gives you when typed at octave prompt?

This is usually due to the installation dir of Java JVM. By default,
the configure script expects Java to be installed in /usr/lib/jvm
(the JRE is then in /usr/lib/jvm/jre/lib/<arch>). If this is not the
case for you, you can still define JAVA_HOME to the right
installation directory before executing the configure script. Then
the configure script will look for $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/<arch>.
