I cannot install ocaml-3.04 on my solaris machine. When I do "make world" it
stops
when building the graph library with the following message:

gcc: unrecognized option -rpath' /usr/X11/lib: file not recognized: Is a directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [libgraphics.a] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory /.../chalmers.se/fs/cab/cs/work/proj/multi/home/src/ocaml/ocaml-3.04/otherlibs/graph'
make: *** [otherlibraries] Error 2

gcc --version
2.95.3

I suppose this has to do with the shared library support.

Indeed, there was a small bug in configure in 3.04.
You can correct it by hand:
edit config/Makefile and replace
MKSHAREDLIBRPATH="-rpath "
by
MKSHAREDLIBRPATH=-Wl,-rpath,
(with no space at the end of the line!)

This should solve it.
Otherwise, you can still use the -no-shared-libs option to configure.
