[R] how do I tell configure where to find Java?

I'm not familiar with gcj, but my initial reaction would be a ln -s for the
relevant compiler executable from /usr/java into /usr/bin.

Dear R-help,

I'm trying to build R-2.4.0 on our Opteron-based Scyld cluster.  The system
has gcj (the GNU Java compiler, part of GCC) stuff in /usr/bin.  When I
installed jdk 1.5.08, the install script placed it in /usr/java (I didn't
have a choice, as the script didn't offer that option).  Now when I run
configure in R-2.4.0, it finds gcj, which is not what I want to use.  Is
there a way to tell configure where to look for Java?  I tried configure
--help but didn't see anything related to Java.

Best,
Andy
