ocamlfind does not find a package installed with godi

Question

I tried to compile a OMakefile with omake. I installed all needed packages with GODI. GODI shows me these packages as installed. Ocamlfind does not find all of these packages. With ocamlfind list it show only some.

The packages it did not find are: batteries and ocamlgraph. Has anyone an idea to solve this problem. My target is it to use a program that someone else has created.

Greetings

Sven

Are you using the ocamlfind command provided by your GODI installation? My guess is that you are using the one provided by Debian.

To see which one you are using, run which ocamlfind. If it returns /usr/bin/ocamlfind, then you are using the Debian one. To use the GODI one, you need to adjust your PATH environment variable; for this, put:

export PATH=/path/to/godi/bin:$PATH

in e.g. your ~/.bashrc.

By the way, batteries and ocamlgraph are available as Debian package; you might want to try them first.
