QuantLib crashing JVM

[Ken Anderson-2]

I'm using QuantLib 3.12 under Mac OS X 10.4.6 with Java SWIG.  I  
occasionally get the following crash:

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?  If I re-run,  
it usually works fine.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Ken,
        I still haven't upgraded to 10.4 so I can't confirm it, but on 10.3
strange things happened if the library was compiled as a dynamic one.
Does compiling it as a static library solve the problem?

Luigi,

Honestly, I have no idea how I built these...it was a while ago!  How  
can I tell?  It looks like I have both:

Thanks for any tips,

Try deleting (or moving somewhere else) the .dylib and .la, then
rebuilding the Java module (which, not finding the dynamic libraries,
should then link the static ones.)

Hello:

How do I set up dividend when testing using EquityOption example.
For instance, IBM has 0.30 in Nov06, Dec06 and Jan07, 0.60 in Apr07, 1.5 in Jan08, 2.7 in Jan09, how do I convert to use dividendYield to setup Handle<YieldTermStructure> flatDividendTS as in the EquityOption example? Say, to find  american call of Nov06, what dividendYield should I use? What should I use for Apr07? This is a simple question, but I can't find quick answer without looking at the code.

Thanks,

David Yao

You'll have to use classes that can handle discrete dividends, i.e., the
DividendVanillaOption class and the related pricing engines.
