I just found a subtle problem on mandriva: ocamlfind returns camltk to be present, whereas it is not. Actually, the problems comes from the fact than findlibd generate META files during its installation for all core libraries installed on the build host, and those files get distributed in the findlib package itself. Which can perfectly get installed without camltk... This is strictly a mandriva packaging bug. However, trying to provide informations about package X in another package Y, because X doesn't do it directly, is likely to produce many other similar problems. Is there a reason to not provide META files directly from ocaml distribution itself ? -- Guillaume Rousse Projet Estime, INRIA Domaine de Voluceau Rocquencourt - B.P. 105 78153 Le Chesnay Cedex - France
