Hi, Thanks. One more naive difficulty : I could do #use "topfind" but #require "lacaml" wasnt successful. It says no such packgae found though I have lacaml installed in the same /usr/lib64/ocaml directory. I have also added required variables to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It does not show lacaml after "#list" too. I reinstalled lacaml but same thing again. What can be the reason? Regardsm Onkar On 11/26/09, Richard W.M.
