Perhaps I'm not using the SWIG api right, but for conciseness and for the
ability to update my question, please read here:

Does anybody know of an existing ocaml project that uses swig? Because I
badly need to get past these problems with SWIG.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was asking earlier if anybody knew about
alternatives to libdai. I have a bit of a problem using this library since
I must go through some language boundary eventually, whether that means
translating my data into some intermediate format or going through some
wrapper generator.

I usually never have this much of an issue with something, its just been
errpr and hangup after hang up with this library and swig. Now that I
recall, I haven't ever had a pleasant experience with swig if I had to work
with it.


Ill see if I can't create some even smaller reproducible instance that is
really really minimal - no opam, no oasis, no libdai or anything. Just a
folder with a dockerfile, makefile, swig interface, c header and example ml
that reproduces my issue.
