Hello Ralf et al., There has been more progress with mcl[1] now. With the ocaml built libraries, I have moved the contents of _build/ into /usr/lib/ocaml contained in a package called "libmcl-ocaml-dev". Unfortunately pplacer[2], which relies on ocaml mcl bindings, generates the following message during build time: ocamlfind: Package `mcl' not found. With more investigation, it seems like when running "ocamlfind list" command, mcl is not listed even though the ml library contents are under /usr/lib/ocaml. What could be the issue? Installing the META file into this directory still has no effect. Ocaml is new territory for me so I am still learning with regards to ocaml packaging. Any help is much appreciated!
