i have a bytecode executable which makes use of camlimages and therefore
must load some shared object files.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set correctly, the executable runs ok standalone, but
when i try to run it with ocamldebug, it exits with a "Fatal error cannot
load shared library xxx.."

not sure if this is a bug, or something which was not done because too
hairy.

There are no design limitations in ocamldebug that prevents it from
working in the presence of shared library loading. Small experiments
here with the Unix and Str libraries show no problem. Could you
please send a piece of code that reproduces the problem? (I have
camlimages installed.)

I can't reproduce this and I'm wondering if i didn't simply get confused
by having set LD_LIBRARY_PATH inside an emacs shell, and then the
emacs-camldebug process would not 'inherit' the environment variable.

Apologies, and i won't file any more 4am bugs..

Can't reproduce.
