to quote him :
"The ld.conf mechanism was modeled after the /etc/ld.so.conf file used
by the Unix dynamic loader. It is intended to list a small number of
standard directories that contain shared libraries, typically one
directory for the "system" libraries (i.e. those provided by the OCaml
core distribution), one for local extensions (e.g. /usr/local/lib),
and perhaps one or two for especially large packages with many libraries
(e.g. /usr/X11R6/lib). "
his suggestion :
"So, to summarize, I strongly suggest the following approach for RPMs
or Debian packages:
- The main Caml package can add one or two lines to ld.conf,
e.g. /var/lib/ocaml/shlibs (for libraries installed by other packages)
and /usr/local/lib/ocaml/shlibs (for local stuff)
- Packages for additional Caml libraries install their shared libraries
in /var/lib/ocaml/shlibs, either directly or via a symlink.
"
by the way he had also said :
"(And, yes, I haven't followed this recommendation in some of the
standard OCaml libraries (labltk) or some of my own extensions,
but I've realized my error and intend to fix this in release 3.05.)
