So you were picking up a different - and incompatible - version of libjvm.so ?
In the current version of setup.py, there already is an -rpath argument 
under the LFLAGS for 'linux2' that includes i386/client.
I don't think there are any link time requirements to libjvm.so which is 
picked up by libjava.so for which there are link time requirements. So I'm 
not sure that adding the extra -L and -ljvm is going to help much unless 
i386/client is also on the -rpath (or LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

I'm glad you found the solution. A note in INSTALL is indeed welcome.
