Hi Chaps,

I managed to get everything running.
This is a quick procedure, specially intended to AMD64 addicted ones.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

echo Setting JAVA_HOME to your JDK flavored for AMD64.
# To be on the safe side, I tested against Java5.
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/JavaIDE/jdk1.5.0_12-amd64

cd $HOME
mkdir svn_working-copy
cd svn_working-copy

echo Download QuantLib
svn checkout
https://quantlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/quantlib/trunk/QuantLib

echo Download QuantLib-SWIG
svn checkout
https://quantlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/quantlib/trunk/QuantLib-SWIG

echo Install required packages
sudo apt-get install binutils gcc make autoconf automake libtool swig
libboost-dev

cd $HOME/svn_working-copy
cd QuantLib
echo Configure QuantLib
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

cd $HOME/svn_working-copy
cd QuantLib-SWIG
echo Configure QuantLib-SWIG for Java environment
sh autogen.sh
echo "================================"
echo "Setting CXXFLAGS=-fPIC for AMD64"
echo "================================"
export CXXFLAGS=-fPIC
echo
./configure \
   --with-jdk-include=${JAVA_HOME}/include \
   --with-jdk-system-include=${JAVA_HOME}/include/linux
make -C Java
sudo make -C Java install

echo Verify installed files
ls -ald /usr/local/lib/*QuantLib*

echo Verify file contents
file /usr/local/lib/*QuantLib*



You should see something similar to...

/usr/local/lib/libQuantLib-0.8.1.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64,
version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
/usr/local/lib/libQuantLibJNI.so:    ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64,
version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
/usr/local/lib/libQuantLib.so:       symbolic link to `libQuantLib-0.8.1.so'
/usr/local/lib/libQuantLib-0.8.1.a:  current ar archive
/usr/local/lib/libQuantLib.a:        symbolic link to `libQuantLib-0.8.1.a'
/usr/local/lib/QuantLib.jar:         Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to
extract


To be honest, I've build from released packages and not from the trunk SVN.
If you follow this procedure, probably some file names can be slightly
different.


Now, include /usr/local/lib/QuantLib.jar in the build path of your Java
projects.
Use this test program:


package org.quantlib.examples;

import org.quantlib.QuantLib;
import org.quantlib.Weekday;

public class Hello {
    static {
        try {
            System.loadLibrary("QuantLibJNI");
        } catch (RuntimeException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        QuantLib ql = new QuantLib();
        double nd = QuantLib.nullDouble();

        System.out.println("ql nullDouble is "+nd);
        System.out.println("and sunday is "+Weekday.Sunday.toString());
    }
}

Go to the command line and execute...

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
$ java -cp .:/usr/local/lib/QuantLib.jar org.quantlib.examples.Hello

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Good Luck! :)
