[Caml-list] Quick question on Dynlink

What does the following error message mean, exactly?

 > error while linking unix_driver.cmo.
 > The module `Afo' is not yet initialized

Notice that this happens after the Dynlink is successfully 
initialized with Dynlink.init () and after various modules 
are made available to dynamically loaded modules through 
Dynlink.add_interfaces.

A quick search on Google and short browsing of the source
make me figure out what the problem was.

Apparently, it is forbidden to dynamically link object files
   in a global declaration:

let _ = Dynlink.loadfile ...

As suggested on the O'Reilly book, I now link my external
modules from a main () function, called at the end of my
base module.
