Thanks for letting me know! Great info to have. 

A couple of follow-up questions:

1) What platform are you building it on?
2) What were the missing headers/libraries?

MakeVars should contain all the platform-specific info, so maybe
I need some kind of configure script that checks the platform
and updates MakeVars appropriately.

Just NEdit (http://www.nedit.org) using a tab width of 3. It's a
nice little text editor.

Wow! I certainly didn't have KDevelop in mind - but I'll take
credit for it anyway. :)  I suspect kudos are more due to
KDevelop people than me, though.

Check out 

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ffts/MarketDB.out.gz

This is a dump of the postgresql database I keep my market data
in, which I update every now and then. It's got historical
option prices for a handful of stocks going back to Jan 00.
There are some big gaps, but there's still a lot of juicy info.

AFAIK, there's no place that gives out free historical option
prices, so I've been forced to create them myself.
