This may have worked at some point due to transitive dependencies, but it does not work now. The library gets installed at /sqlite3 (yes at the file system root!). Here is a patch that fixes this that can be applied with git am < file.patch:

@Samsagax: I have answered this so many times. Look here, it's not a package issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9166489/inconsistent-assumptions-over-interface-ocaml

I'm having a problem when building at build start on 4.4.1:

File "src/config/discover.ml", line 1:
Error: The files /usr/lib/ocaml/base/base.cmi
       and /usr/lib/ocaml/stdio/stdio.cmi make inconsistent assumptions
       over interface Shadow_stdlib

Is something missing?

@Kunda: hey, this is not a makepkg-Workshop, nor is it irc here. Ask on irc and/or Arch wiki for such rudimental questions.

@oriba what are the flags that I should pass to makepkg ?

@Kunda: I don't know if install-helpers support it. The old AUR-installer-tools did (afaik) not support that, so that you maybe need to do this manually. This means you need to use makepkg.

@oriba what is the command to recompile all dependencies ?

@Kunda: please keep your OCaml-compiler up to date and recompile all dependencies. Then I would guess the error messages will vanish.

Disowning, as I'm not familiar with the OCaml ecosystem and did a one-shot fix of the package.
