Building on MacOS X and arrays from slib

["Frederick Ross" <madhadron at gmail dot com>]

I'm using Kawa to run ImageJ kind of like a puppet master, but I've
run into a couple of problems.

I'd really like to have the SLIB array functions.  The policy on slib
at the moment appears to be "throw it in, see if it works."  I tried
to follow this, but cannot get Kawa to compile on my machine.  In
particular it fails with (from ./configure; make path):

On the other hand, if I use ant, I get:

The Java environment is otherwise functional (I've been writing a fair
amount of it lately).  It's the JDK5 that comes with MacOS 10.4.8.

Now what I'd really like is to be able to put a reshaped array form on
top of a native one dimensional array of doubles, but at a guess
that's deep black magic.
