Hmm.  Well, there was a comment in the code that using the octave_shlib 
method of loading the jvm had problems, but I'm suspicious about that. 
Surely there is a way to dynamically load the jvm into Octave.  We do it 
with .oct files, so why not the jvm?

Since the message is about it being the wrong architecture, maybe that 
isn't the correct file?  Are there other libjvm libraries on your system?
