On this Fedora Core 6 x86_64 system, this program

  #include <jni.h>

  int main()
  {
    JNI_CreateJavaVM(0, 0, 0);
  }

cannot be linked with this command line:

  $ gcc -ljvm -o libjvm-test libjvm_test.c
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ljvm
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This command line succeeds:

  $ gcc -L/usr/lib64/gcj-4.1.1 -ljvm -o libjvm-test libjvm_test.c
