I'm trying to build hadoop-snappy but it does not work with errors.

I had the same problem on Ubuntu 11.04(i386 and x86_64). My solution:

Comment line 58 in src/main/native/configure.ac:
LDFLAGS=$ldflags_bak
replace:
#LDFLAGS=$ldflags_bak

In fact for resolve it you should create symbolic link in /usr/local/lib for 
libjvm.so. like:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_27/jre/lib/i386/server/libjvm.so /usr/local/lib/

because it try to compile it with flag:  -L/usr/local/lib

Probably also to /usr/lib. In my case error was:
[exec] libtool: link: gcc -shared  
src/org/apache/hadoop/io/compress/snappy/.libs/SnappyCompressor.o 
src/org/apache/hadoop/io/compress/snappy/.libs/SnappyDecompressor.o   
-L/usr/local/lib -ljvm -ldl  -m32   -Wl,-soname -Wl,libhadoopsnappy.so.0 -o 
.libs/libhadoopsnappy.so.0.0.1
     [exec] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ljvm

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.5/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: 
cannot find -ljvm. 
I worked it around creating a symbolic link:
cd /usr/lib
ln -s /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1_6_0-ibm-1.6.0/jre/lib/amd64/default/libjvm.so 
libjvm.so

Use the path to libjvm.so that fits your installation
