Would it really be a good idea? Knowing that ocaml libraries are not binary
No, currently you are only allowed a carriage return. if test |

Right. In the meantime, it's always possible to move ld.conf after

Depends on your installation policy for libraries: e.g. you could decide Generally speaking, the ld.conf mechanism is modeled exactly after the

Bug description
Hello, ...
The debian policy mandates the location for files such as ld.conf in the /etc
directory structure. As such, it would be very nice (for me and others too i
guess) to be able to choose the location of this file at configuration time.
Also, since the current version of ocaml don't searches $OCAMLDIR and it's
subdirectories by default (contrary to what Xavier wrote to me in a mail, but
i may simply have misunderstood something), it is needed to fill this ld.conf
file accordyingly for each installed library.
It would be nice to have some script or little program that helps adding or
removing entries in this ld.conf file and i will be providing such a one in my
debian packages next week, but to enable such a program or script to handle
multiple libraries using the same directory, it would be really nice to be
able to add a field at the end of the files in the ld.conf file, using it as a
occurence counter or something such. Maybe this is already possible but i have
not looked at it yet, will do the first week of january though.
What do you think about this occurence counter stuff ? Is it a good idea, or
a totally wrong approach ?
Friendly,
Sven Luther
