Maybe you are right. I find the documentation around oasis and oasis-db rather confusing. On Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 17:36, Andrei Formiga wrote: > Currently you have to install the dependencies, yes.

I don't and won't, I don't like to lag behind compiler releases. There's something I really don't understand here. oasis and oasis-db are supposed to be able to manage ocaml packages. I don't wan't to install another package manager to install the package manager. I also don't understand why oasis needs findlib, since findlib manages packages, or does ocaml-db use findlib to manage the packages ? This is all rather confusing. The experience I expected was, install the ocaml compilers, download the oasis sources, compile them and that this would give me a system to install ocaml packages and their dependencies. > I believe it is based on the path returned by ocamlc -where Well I don't like to believe, how packages are installed should be documented somewhere. When things break you want to understand these things. Best, Daniel
