Dear camlers,

Debian and Ubuntu have not so recently switched to multiarch binaries (including libs, see http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation). This is an important change for ocaml C bindings since the libraries are now to be found in /usr/lib/<arch description> instead of /usr/lib. I was just bitten by this, when realizing that the ocaml configure script couldn't find libX11.so and wouldn't install graphics. A similar problem was handled by the people in charge of debian ocaml packages (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=619344). Now my question is the following: will this evolution be a problem for GODI/odb packages (and more generally source distribution), and what is the advised fix for it?

Cheers,
  Philippe.
