LZO build problem

Trying to built the lzo library for Hadoop, it failed with "make sure $JAVA_HOME" set correctly message. Here is the full error log:

....     
   [exec] checking jni.h usability... no
   [exec] checking jni.h presence... no
   [exec] checking for jni.h... no
   [exec] configure: error: Native java headers not found. 
   Is $JAVA_HOME set correctly?
BUILD FAILED make sure $JAVA_HOME set correctly. 

This means build is using incorrect java installation. To make sure JAVA_HOME is pointing to the correct one use apt-file search - searches in all packages installed in your system.

apt-file search jni.h

And then set JAVA_HOME accordingly.
