That symbol is defined in libfftw.so; it looks like the librfftw.so builder
forgot to add a link dependency to fftw (if you run "ldd
/usr/local/lib/librfftw.so", you can see there are dependencies on libc and
libm, but not fftw).

Depending on how jna access shared libraries, you might be able to work
around it by having jna load the fftw library before rfftw.
