Re: using opam ?

thanks a lot, indeed it seems to work ! great.
I tried with sdl. I remove my old installation of ocamlsdl, and then 
ocamlfind was able to
use the opam version.

in fact : `ocamlfind ocamlc -where` gives
/usr/lib/ocaml
because this is where the standard library is, but
`ocamlfind printconf` tells me that the search path is
/home/san/.opam/system/lib

maybe some words about this on the opam FAQ would be welcome. At least, 
in order to know how all is supposed to work.
