How to fix 'configure: error: cannot find java include files'?

Question

To install jpl(A Java Interface to Prolog),when I type 'make', it shows

 checking symlink for /etc/alternatives/javac... /usr/bin/gcj-wrapper-4.4
 configure: error: cannot find java include files
 make: *** [installed] Error 1

How to fix it?

Thank you~

This may be related to your Java installation in your Linux (UNIX?) distribution. You may need to install some `-dev` packages for Java too, or install the Sun ones (sun-jdk-sdk). — Diego Sevilla, Jan 20 '12 at 00:30
I have already installed gcj-jdk in ubuntu. And it is the same situation. What is the next step? Thank you~ — sam, Jan 20 '12 at 01:10
what I say is to install sun-jdk instead of gcj, just in case there is any incompatibility. — Diego Sevilla, Jan 20 '12 at 09:02

As per the OP request, I post the answer. Try to install the sun-jdk package instead. May be some incompatibility with gcj packages.

Install sun-jdk by apt-get:sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin; sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun; – sam Jan 21 '12 at 03:08
