Sorry for not responding earlier, i hope Stefano gave you a satisfying
solution to this, did he not ?
It seems strange that ocaml-ldconf did not do its job correctly, still
there are two things to remember :
1) user installed libs on woody go into /usr/local/lib/ocaml/stublibs,
which is configured by default in the ld.conf, no need to play
ocaml-ldconf tricks.
2) anyway, the ocaml-ldconf is only for ocamlrun to find dynamically
loaded stub libraries (the C library which provide stubs which link to
existing C libraries and are called from ocaml code) and as thus will
only be used at link and run time, not for compilation.
Anyway, ocaml-ldconf is being phased out, it was a nice idea back then
when the dll.so wiles where installed all over the place, but since we
managed to agree on a standard directory for them, it is no longer
needed.
Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy new year to everyone.
