Tomcat setup fails on Mac with 'Cannot find jni_md.h in /usr/bin/java/'

I get the error below when I try running with ./configure (I am following steps in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/setup.html).

Error: * Java compilation tools *

checking for JDK os include directory... Cannot find jni_md.h in /usr/bin/java/ configure: error: You should retry --with-os-type=SUBDIR

The jni_md.h file is in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A//Headers so I used ./configure --with-os-type=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A//Headers.

And I still got an error:

* Java compilation tools *

configure: error: Not a directory: /usr/bin/java//System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A//Headers

What should I do here?

If you're merely using tomcat, you needn't build it, just download a version, unzip, set CATALINA_HOME, and hit $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start. The only reason I'd want to build it yourself is if I were a developer, instead of a mere user. Leave a comment if you have further problems.
