To wit, I compiled log4cxx, ObjectHandler, Quantlib and Quantlib addin and finally managed to run everything without any errors.

Hi Siddharth,

are you working with the svn trunk or svn 0.9.7 or an older tarball?
I have put together calc addin source files in the 0.9.9 branch of the svn tree, see
http://quantlib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/quantlib/branches/R000909-branch/QuantLibAddin/Addins/Calc2/
This has been copied to the trunk and the 1.0 branch in the meantime, see
http://quantlib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/quantlib/trunk/QuantLibAddin/Addins/Calc2/ 

I tested compilation with quantlib 0.9.9., see the Readme.txt in QuantLibAddin/Addins/Calc2 for further prerequisites.
The usual build process assumes that the source files are largely generated automatically by gensrc, but gensrc needs to be adjusted for that (I am on it). The last release tarball that came with the source files for the calc addin was 0.9.7 or even 0.9.0, and I'd like to help reanimating this corner of QuantLib.

I would be grateful if you would try compiling the files in QuantLibAddin/Addins/Calc2 to have another check on a Linux environment.

Regards,
Roland
