I already replied on the ocaml ML, anyway: I think that the better solution is to have all .so files in a single directory (maybe /usr/lib/ocaml itself or /var/lib/what_the_hel) and all other stuff (including .cma, .cmo, .cm... and META files) in the usual /usr/lib/ocaml/library_name. The problem is that currently really a few library installation supports this idea and surely findlib currently do not permit as a command line option to install .so in a directory different from the library installation directory. Surely we, as debian developers, can install .so in a single directory, but: - we have to decide which is the correct one - we have to state it in the upcoming debian ocaml policy - we have to change all our packages to fit with this requirement :-( Someone on the OCaml ML also pointed out that ocamlmktop doesn't work if the .so resides in a directory different that the standard library installation directory. This sounds me very strange, but I haven't checked it out. My 0.02 EUR. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli - undergraduate student of CS @ Univ.
