Re: nntp client

When I try to build classpath I get:

checking for gcjh... no
checking for javah... /usr/local/jdk/bin/javah
checking "jni_md.h support"... "yes"
checking for gcj... no
checking for jikes... no
checking for kJC... no
checking for gcjx... no
checking for ecj... no
configure: cannot find javac, try --with-gcj, --with-jikes, --with-kjc, 
or --with-gcjx

javac from the jdk is in the path, so why doesn't configure find it? 
Does gnu have some philsophical aversion to sun's javac?
