Hello, ... I get this problem for the 3.06-6.1 package from the archives, but they disappear when i rebuild it.
I guess something did change, but i don't know what, will have to look what caused this change, and maybe add a stricter dependency stuff. So, anyway, i think i will have to upload 3.06-7 quicker than i expected.

This does not occur when I build the distribution from source by hand, Debian or upstream. I can actually copy the libasmrun.a file from the compiled source tree into /usr/lib/ocaml and the build will succeed: aurora:/usr/src/ocaml/ocaml-3.06/asmrun# cp libasmrun* /usr/lib/ocaml aurora:~$ ocamlopt str.cmxa stuff.ml aurora:~$ This is, in addition to the first time I've seen the error, the first time I've used Str. Learning the language :) Also, I had to tweak the permissions of some of the scripts used in the ocaml-source package, because none had the execute bit set. I don't remember which ones; I just got into the habit of checking permissions when build failures occurred. The configure script was the first I saw. I am running unstable, updated today, on an x86 (Pentium 4, 384mb RAM). Thanks! ----- End forwarded message -----
