Hi,

Like the subject says: The findlib-1.0.4-r1 ebuild doesn't actually create the stublib it puts into ld.conf. Therefore ocamlfind complains:

   ocamlfind: [WARNING] Cannot read directory /usr/lib/ocaml/site-packages/stublibs which is mentioed in ld.conf

until you install something else which uses the findlib eclass. Wouldn't it be more sensible to just have check_stublibs in findlib-1.0.4-r1.ebuild create the directory than have each invokation of the eclass try to create it?

Cheers,

I see i'm watched :) You're absolutely right, i just commited a new revision of the ebuild without bumping the revision as it's just a warning. 
The stublibs dir still needs to be created in the image for proper ocamlfind 'functionment'.
