Hi there,

it seems that `ocamlc' wants to create the .cmo file in the same
directories as the .ml file.  More specifically I observe this:

$ ocamlc -g -c -I +gmp -I ../../../interfaces/OCaml ../../../interfaces/OCaml/ppl_ocaml_types.ml
I/O error: ../../../interfaces/OCaml/ppl_ocaml_types.cmo: Permission denied

The ../../../interfaces/OCaml directory is read-only:
is there an option causing `ocamlc' to write the .cmo
file in the current directory instead?
If not, what is the best way to achieve complete
separation of sources and objects?
All the best,

    Roberto
