Hmm.. when perparing rpms with OCaml packages for PLD Linux I first created /usr/lib/ocaml/dlls and put dll*.so from all packages (including main OCaml package) there directly. However it caused problems with ocamlmktop (IIRC, ocamlc worked fine), so I ended up with dllfoo*.so in /usr/lib/ocaml/foo and symlinks in /usr/lib/ocaml (and just /usr/lib/ocaml in ld.conf). AFAIK /var/lib/ocaml isn't good place for installation on any binary stuff. /usr/lib/ocaml should be used, as it can be read only. /var is for data that programs change. There is nothing to change in dynamic library after it is installed. Please reffer to FHS for details. -- : Michal Moskal :::::::: malekith/at/pld.org.pl : GCS {C,UL}++++$ a? !tv : PLD Linux ::::::: Wroclaw University, CS Dept : {E-,w}-- {b++,e}>+++ h ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
