Did you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include something like:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/jre/lib/i386:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/jre/lib/i386/client

There are two directories on this path, one for libjava.so and one for the 
hotspot VM chosen (client or server), libjvm.so. This is the way it is for 
Java 1.5. Maybe things are different with Java 1.6 which I haven't tried on 
Linux. I gave Java 1.6 a try on win2k and it built and ran fine and seemed to 
follow the same path requirements as Java 1.5.

I've tried it on win2k only so far and I don't see why it wouldn't work 
elsewhere as well.
