Is that really true for your system? (IIRC, you have ubuntu installed, and I assume that distro would follow Debian in this regard.) Here is what is done for equivalent files (I assume) on Debian Squeeze: irwin@raven> ls -l /usr/lib/ocaml/*/*.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19328 Oct 5 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllbigarray.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32448 Oct 5 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllgraphics.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7736 Feb 9 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dlllablglade2.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 441296 Feb 9 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dlllablgtk2.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6808 Feb 9 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dlllablgtkspell.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23624 Oct 5 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dlllabltk.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 74496 Feb 9 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllmlcairo.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5712 Feb 9 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllmlcairo_lablgtk.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7152 Oct 5 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllmldbm.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15840 Oct 5 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllnums.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15720 Apr 8 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllpcre_stubs.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10656 Oct 5 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllstr.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19584 Oct 5 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllthreads.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14936 Oct 5 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dlltkanim.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54712 Oct 5 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllunix.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16648 Oct 5 2010 /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllvmthreads.so Do you have a different result on your system? @Andrew when you are back in e-mail contact. Currently, you are using a versioned install location for PLplot OCaml stublibs, e.g., irwin@raven> ls -l /usr/lib/ocaml/*/*/*.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4256 Aug 11 11:06 /usr/lib/ocaml/3.11.2/stublibs/dllplcairo_stubs.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111424 Aug 11 11:06 /usr/lib/ocaml/3.11.2/stublibs/dllplplot_stubs.so And PLplot upstream is doing the same. Should your Debian packages (and/or PLplot upstream) change to the unversioned install location? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
