For our purposes, the Ocaml code could call the infrastructure to get it to load the C library before it tries to access the C code, or to build the original executable with the libraries we need. > Will it handle different versions of the same library? Can I have > two versions of the PCRE simultaneously? I think that would be very difficult to arrange. Again, for our purposes, the downloadable modules would come from single site, so we will arrange for the libraries to be consistent. ../Dave ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
