If I don't set JAVA_HOME before configure, the compilation itself (make) 
breaks somewhere compaining about jni.h. The configure output clearly 
shows the wrong include file location (it simply assumes having detected 
a proper JAVA_HOME setting and then apparently blindly appends 
/include/... or so without checking if that resolves to a valid location).
This is on Mageia 2, which -looking at Rik's post in the thread "Java 
jni.h"- seems to have a fairly standard Java installation for a linux 
distro.
