problems generating shared library usable by java

[Paul Jakubik]

I have two libraries. Call them A and B. I am using libtool and
automake to build these libraries.

Library A depends on Library B.

Library A contains a JNI interface so that Java can use library A.

My problem is that when I tell Java to load library A, it says 
that it can't find a symbol in library B. I have checked and
B does contain the symbol that I am told can't be found.

I have tried telling Java to first load B, and then load A, and 
I get the same problem as when loading library A.

Is there something I can do so that when Java loads A it will be 
able to find all of the symbols it needs in B? 

Is there a way to specify in the Makefile.am for A that A depends
on B? Is there a way to do this so that when A is loaded, A will
know how to access the symbols it needs in B?

In general, is there a way to use libtool to create a library in
such a way that someone can open it with a dlopen call and find 
all the symbols that the library depends on?
