I think that Claudio was talking about the fact that after modifing /etc/ocaml/ld.conf you have to invoke ocaml-ldconf which is not really intuitive. One usually expects that modification to configuration file, expecially if they resides in /etc, will be effective. Maybe we can state that more precisely in the /etc/ocaml/ld.conf comment? Something like "you have to invoke ocaml-ldconf to make your modifications effective". > Mmm, maybe we should make findlib aware of the /etc/ocaml/ld.conf file ? As stated in another mail, findlib is already /etc/ocaml/ld.conf aware! Just set CAMLLIB=/etc/ocaml while doing "ocamlfind install" and findlib will add lines to ld.conf. This is good for manually installed stuff (which Claudio likes really much ;-) but for debian package the right solution is use /var/lib/ocaml/ld.conf (or better use a single directory for all .so ...).
