OCaml/C interface

Having just read Chapter 18 of the manual regarding "Interfacing C with
OCaml", I wrote a simple program to test my understanding.  However, when I
try to compile it I run into some undefined symbol problems (_tgetent,
_tgetnum, etc).  My machine is a PowerPC iBook G4 running OS X 10.4.10.

Does anyone know how to fix this?  After Googling around, I think this is a
Mac problem rather than an OCaml one, but I thought people on this list
might have come up against this same problem.  Also, any comments on my C
code that calls OCaml would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nathan
