[Caml-list] shared libraries [pcre-ocaml]

[Richard Nyberg <rnyberg@it.su.se>]

Hello I've some problems with ocaml and shared libraries. I'm running
a recent FreeBSD-4-STABLE and have ocaml 3.04 installed from ports.

pcre-ocaml is built with shared libraries and is installed in
/usr/local/lib/ocaml/site-lib/pcre

ocaml's ld.conf contains the following lines:

----------ld.conf
/usr/local/lib/ocaml
/usr/local/lib/ocaml/labltk
/usr/local/lib/ocaml/site-lib/pcre
----------

If I use ocamlopt to compile everything is fine but when I use ocamlc
the following error occurs.

----------compiling
# ocamlc -o myprog -I +site-lib/netstring -I +site-lib/pcre \
         unix.cma pcre.cma netstring.cma myprog.ml

Error on dynamically loaded library: Shared object "libpcre.so.0" not found
----------

I ran truss to see the syscalls made by ocamlc (relevant bit below) and
to me it seems as if it finds dllpcre.so but not libpcre.so.0 on which
dllpcre.so depends. However if I run ldconfig to include pcre-ocaml's
installation directory everything works just fine.

So, should I have to use ldconfig or is there something wrong?
