Details

Description:

The binary package installed by pacman doesn't install the META file in the /usr/lib/ocaml/gdome2/ directory. This, in turn, makes the command `ocamlfind query gdome2` fail, along with the compilation of projects that need the gmetadom library. If you look at the file list for the package on the web page you won't be able to find the META file. I fixed this problem on my machine by installing the package using the PKGBUILD file retrievable from the ABS git tree. I guess it suffices to regenerate the binary package to fix this.

Additional info:

* package version(s): 0.2.6-7

Steps to reproduce:

Install gmetadom with `sudo pacman -S gmetadom`
Launch the command `ocamlfind query gdome2`
This task depends upon

Adding ocaml-findlib and libxslt as makedepends to fix warnings in configure:

configure: WARNING: xsltproc is needed to generate many source files
configure: WARNING: findlib not found. The META file will be installed anyway but /usr/lib/ocaml/ld.conf will not be updated automatically

The missing file is back after the change:

> usr/lib/ocaml/gdome2/META
