Policy doesn't say you cannot install such files where there are installed by default. The /usr/include/caml link is fine, but it must point to headers files and /usr/lib/ocaml/3.06/caml is empty. >> 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.

No, GCC are compatible between each other and gcc is build essential. But there can be other compilers that GCC on the system. -- Jérôme Marant http://marant.org
