It looks like you didn't define GCJ_LIBDIR in PyLucene's Makefile.

Take a close look at the Linux section in PyLucene's Makefile, there are a 
quite a few more variables to get right.
What version of gcj are you using ?
What version of python ?

If running still fails, you may need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH too.
