Oh Dear,

after getting my sledge hammer 'strace' I've found the reason.
PLEASE add this to jcc/INSTALL !

pylucene needs another library, so the following did work
(passed all its tests)
INCLUDES = {
    'linux2': ['/usr/lib/jvm/sun-jdk-1.6/include',
               '/usr/lib/jvm/sun-jdk-1.6/include/linux'],
}

LFLAGS = {
    'linux2': ['-L/usr/lib/jvm/sun-jdk-1.6/jre/lib/i386','-L/usr/lib/jvm/sun-jdk-1.6/jre/lib/i386/client', 
               '-ljava','-ljvm',
               '-Wl,-rpath=/usr/lib/jvm/sun-jdk-1.6/jre/lib/i386:/usr/lib/jvm/sun-jdk-1.6/jre/lib/i386/client'],
}

Thanks for PyLucence,
Helmut.
