[Quantlib-dev] Help! newbie question : autogen

[Richard G. <rgo...@ya...>]

Hi guys,

I'd like to call QuantLib from Java. I'm following the steps from
http://www.skwash.com and I've got errors, probably because the .i files do
not match the 0.8.1 release.

As Debian does not have a kind of quantlib-swig package, I decided to
compile from sources, as described:

I compiled/installed the latest boost release.
I just checked out QuantLib from SVN.
I installed autoconf, automake and m4 packages.

and then...

$ sh autogen.sh
/usr/share/aclocal/libmcrypt.m4:17: warning: underquoted definition of
AM_PATH_LIBMCRYPT
/usr/share/aclocal/libmcrypt.m4:17:   run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
/usr/share/aclocal/libmcrypt.m4:17:   or see
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
configure.ac:63: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

Oh well... I'm a complete newbie on autoconf/automake. I followed ... 

http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal

... but it seems to be a steep learning curve.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve the error I've got?

Thank you all in advance for any help.
