Just a quick question, why don't you use the debian lablgtk or lablgtk2
packages ? Or else, if you need to build your own, you could just modify
the package and rebuild it for you. If you need instructions on how to
do this, just ask me privately.

Yes, i had the same problem, which i solved with the following patch :

--- lablgtk2-0.beta.20030423.orig/Makefile
+++ lablgtk2-0.beta.20030423/Makefile
@@ -13,8 +13,9 @@
 CAMLMKLIB = ocamlmklib

+BINDIR = $$\(DESTDIR\)/usr/bin
 INSTALLDIR = $$\(DESTDIR\)$(LIBDIR)/lablgtk2
 DLLDIR = $$\(DESTDIR\)$(LIBDIR)/stublibs
 
Not elegant, but it does work.

Anyway, in most cases, you can't infer the BINDIR from the LIBDIR, since
there is no guarantee that the user has not moved the one or the other
somewhere else.
