Hi Gerd,

I've attached a minimal example that exhibits the problem. Here's my test.

Confirm PG'OCaml is not installed.
$ godi_list -installed | grep pgocaml
(* no output *)

$ cd foo (* the unpacked example directory *)
$ ocamlbuild foo.cma
Finished, 1 target (0 cached) in 00:00:00.
+ ocamlfind ocamldep -syntax camlp4o -modules foo.ml > foo.ml.depends
ocamlfind: When using -syntax, the META variable 'preprocessor' must be set
Command exited with code 2.
Compilation unsuccessful after building 1 target (0 cached) in 00:00:00.

Install PG'OCaml.
$ godi_perform -build godi-pgocaml

Confirm PG'OCaml is installed.
$ godi_list -installed | grep pgocaml
godi-pgocaml                   inst:1.4godi2

Compile again. I now get the correct error about not having a database
connection.
$ ocamlbuild foo.cma
Finished, 0 targets (0 cached) in 00:00:00.
+ ocamlfind ocamldep -package pgocaml -package pgocaml.syntax -syntax
camlp4o -modules foo.ml > foo.ml.depends
File "foo.ml", line 1, characters 23-42:
Camlp4: Uncaught exception: Unix.Unix_error (20 | CstTag21, "connect", "")

Preprocessing error on file foo.ml
Command exited with code 2.
Compilation unsuccessful after building 1 target (0 cached) in 00:00:00.
