This doesn't make any sense.  You're trying to define a native method
SimpleCPPLib.square() in a shared library and define the rest of the
SimpleCPPLib class in the executable.  Either the whole class, native
and Java methods, gets defined in the executable or it dets defined in
the shared library.

You can't split a single class across libraries.  C++ and Java parts
have to be in the same loadable object.
