I had the same error (jni.h not found) and solved it by, before running
./configure, setting JAVA_HOME to the place where the Java stuff lives.

On my Linux dev box (Mageia 2) the Java-related entries in /etc/alternatives
are symlinks to the relevant files or subdirs in /usr/lib/jvm/ and
/usr/lib/jvm/java-<version>/ rather than actual files.

As I outlined in a previous post, the way configure currently tries to find
a proper value for JAVA_HOME is a work in progress. Unfortunately I'm a bit
clueless about autotools programming :-(
