What I did was:

address@hidden:/usr/src/ocaml/lablgtk> sudo mkdir 
/usr/local/lib/ocaml/site-lib/lablgtk
address@hidden:/usr/src/ocaml/lablgtk> sudo cp META 
/usr/local/lib/ocaml/site-lib/lablgtk

using your META file.

Now the problem is later:

ocamlfind ocamlopt  -o mlchat  \
 -package "unix str threads lablgtk options okey configwin" -predicates "mt"  
-thread \
 -linkpkg chat_messages.cmx chat_misc.cmx chat_proto.cmx chat_types.cmx 
chat_options.cmx chat_config.cmx chat_args.cmx chat_global.cmx chat_file.cmx 
chat_com.cmx chat_icons.cmx chat_gui_base.cmx chat_gui.cmx chat_app.cmx 
chat_main.cmx
No implementations provided for the following modules:
  Mutex referenced from /usr/local/lib/ocaml/lablgtk/gtkThread.cmx
  Condition referenced from /usr/local/lib/ocaml/lablgtk/gtkThread.cmx
  Thread referenced from /usr/local/lib/ocaml/lablgtk/gtkThread.cmx,
    chat_file.cmx, chat_com.cmx, chat_app.cmx

which is not surprising since:

address@hidden:/usr/src/ocaml/findlib-0.8.1> cat 
/usr/local/lib/ocaml/site-lib/unix/META 
# Specifications for the "unix" library:
requires = ""
version = "[distributed with Ocaml]"
directory = "^"
browse_interfaces = "Unix"
archive(byte) = "unix.cma"
archive(native) = "unix.cmxa"
# Use the special unix.cma for bytecode threads:
archive(byte,mt) = "threads/unix.cma"

There is no definition for archive(native,mt).

(in fact, this META seems wrong as:
address@hidden:/usr/src/ocaml/findlib-0.8.1> ls /usr/local/lib/ocaml/threads
condition.cmi  condition.cmx  event.cmi  event.cmx  mutex.cmi  mutex.cmx  
thread.cmi  thread.cmx  threads.a  threads.cma  threads.cmxa  threadUnix.cmi  
threadUnix.cmx

I don't see a unix.cma).

What version of findlib are you using ?

Thanks,

Alan
