How about

$ sudo apt-get install libquantlib0-dev

which gets you the pre-built one as well as its headers as the Debian
packages I maintain are being rebuilt, just like everything else, on Ubuntu.

Luigi,

I had checked those items you told me yesterday (thanks god there is Google
:-D).
I still have a problem regarding some expected files. They are in QuantLib
release pack but could not find in CVS.
Look above error messages from autogen.sh. If I get missing files from
QuantLib release (0.3.13) and copy to my checked out folder it works.

I would like to understand how to compile from CVS so I can try your new
developments.

Thanks a lot.

They should be generated by autoconf/automake, but you get errors  
earlier on. It seems like you have an outdated version of one of the  
programs; try 'automake --version' and 'autoconf --version' to see what  
you have. I'm using automake 1.9.6 and autoconf 2.60, but automake  
1.8.x and autoconf 2.58 might be enough.

Later,
