Just want to add that, if you are using the latest JDK from Sun (jdk1.7.0),
the libjvm.so file is in the server directory, not the client directory
(which doesn't even exist).  This is at least the case for the amd64
distribution of the jdk.

Having changed the code (in __java__.cc) to look at server instead of
client, I have successfully installed the java package and it works like a
charm!!  Thanks to all for this package.
