You can use "ocamlopt -v" to know the path of the standard library used (and thus location of the compiler). > How can I check that my Ocaml > compiler was really compiled with -with-pthread ? You should have the file "threads.cmxa" in the thread/ directory in the standard library (in my case on Cygwin /usr/lib/ocaml/thread/threads.cmxa). You can try to compile a test program: $ cat > toto.ml let f a = a + 1 $ ocamlopt -thread threads.cmxa toto.ml Yours, d. _______________________________________________ Demexp-dev mailing list Demexp-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/demexp-dev
