Does working out on an exercise bike help build endurance for running?

Is the workout your get from using an exercise bike build the same sort of endurance you need to run long distance? If not, does it at least help some?
 
I would say yes.

It'll get you in pretty good cardiovascular conditioning, but you'll want to at least do some running as well so that you can get your legs used to the intensity that running demands.

Otherwise, you'll be in good cardiovascular conditioning, but your legs (calves, shins, hamstrings, thighs) may feel quite exhausted and in pain, while running and afterward...
