If you quote it, it won't be expanded; this is normal. When you put ~ on ocamlbuild's command line, as in "-I,~/multi-oc/lib" it is not expanded either (~ is interpreted only at the beginning of a word on the command line). > Is this a problem with ocamlbuild, or something deeper, or > perhaps even expected behaviour? Maybe ocamlbuild should support natively options like "-I xxx" (without quotes), so that xxx will be processed by the shell. -- Alain
