Alright, this seems to be to a good explanation of what I have seen. A small bug in Ubuntu must be the solution.
However, frustrated by what was going on, I downloaded version 0.3.11 from sourceforge.net and I installed it by:
./configure
make
sudo make install
Some waiting time, tons of output and finally;
Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/local/lib
where allegedly g++ should be able to see them.
I reverted to the code in the previous email by compiling and running it:
lorenzo@mypc:~/Temp$ g++ -o simple simple-option.cc -lQuantLib
lorenzo@mypc:~/Temp$ ./simple
./simple: error while loading shared libraries: libQuantLib-0.3.11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
But shouldn't g++ be able to see it if I do not toy with the installation directory by making some non-standard choices?
Best regards
