Right, that's what I suspected, your compilation didn't go that well.
The only gcj 4.x that has worked out of the box for me on Linux (that is, 
without patches) are recent snapshots of gcj 4.2.0.

I once got gcj 4.1 to work on a gentoo system with these patches:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2006-03/msg00190.html

When using gcj 4.x, I also noticed that I had better results when compiling 
the Java Lucene sources first instead of reusing the ones I provide with 
PyLucene source tarballs.

I posted a message yesterday to the list about all the steps necessary to 
build PyLucene on an Ubuntu 64 machine. These steps would be the same on your 
system:
