First of all thanks for the bugreport, the risk of overlooking this serious issue for Lenny was quite high :) Then, we have two issues here: 1) The wrong path in netcgi_apache.load, pointed out (together with a fix) by Stéphane. That's easily fixable, I can upload a fixed version of ocamlnet RSN. 2) The fact that camlrun_shared.so is not in a path known by ld.so. Which is a hell of a more tricky issue. On one hand one might argue that that library should belong to /usr/lib/ (or to some other dir known by ld.so). I frankly don't think so, because it is a high unstable library, introduced only recently upstream, ... and I don't want (yet) to take over the burden of version it with SONAMEs/VERSIONs/... *If* we decide it should belong /usr/lib/, then the most straightforwards solutions are: a) symlink /usr/lib/libcamlrun_shared.so -> `ocamlc -where`/... b) entry for `ocamlc -where` in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ Both will require an upload of OCaml, which will make two uploads in total because ocamlnet needs to be fixed anyhow. Alternatively, we can try adding an RPATH to /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_netcgi_apache.so pointing to `ocamlc -where`. I got a bit rusty on the rpath issue [1,2], but I do think that in this case it would be acceptable. Comments? Cheers.
