Or do they have to install them? So, the questions goes into the direction of linkage - dynamic or static. Both has advantages. For portability I would choose the way, to include all necessary libs, and for filesize-issues I would prefer a dynamic solution. How does Ocaml do it? Or are both ways possible?
