I've already required such a feature to Gerd some months ago, it will be available as a command line flag in the next findlib release (something like -no-ldconf or simliar). By the way Gerd told me that a workaround solution is to set CAMLLIB to a foo value while doing "ocaml install", for example: CAMLLIB=`pwd` ocamlfind instal .... In this way if the current directory contains an ld.conf the line that points to the .so directory will be added to that file, otherwise (no ld.conf found in the current directory) ocamlfind issue a warning stating that no ld.conf is found and continue with the usual installation. This is the solution that I use in almost all my debian packages. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli - undergraduate student of CS @ Univ.
