The /usr/include/caml symlink is there only for convenience. I can remove it if you feel like that, but /usr/include is the right place to put include files (says policy and such). > Olivier Andrieu told me it is important to use ocamlc for > compiling C stubs because it uses the GCC that was used to > compile the ocaml compilers.
