I guess it is possible, but not cleanly. Currently I think this is not possibile cause ocamlfind look in the predefined sarch path and in OCAMLPATH path and this is good, but I don't know how it work if, for example, i find two different versione of the same package ? (but I will ask gerd on this, I will also ask gerd to subscribe this ML :-) With your experience, is ocamlfind capable of handle different version of the same package ?

It is your decision that will import the most :))) Yes but I'm at my first experiences with both debian packaging and most of the ocaml tools I'm packaging, so I really need your help :-))) Is really an heavy charge for a novice like me ... :-)))) -- - Zack - Stefano Zacchiroli <zack@cs.unibo.it> ICQ# 33538863 Home Page: http://www.students.cs.unibo.it/~zacchiro Undergraduate Student of Computer Science at University of Bologna, Italy SysAdm of verdicchio.students.cs.unibo.it (130.136.3.134) "Information wants to be Open"
