Technically, Damien, I agree with you. However, I suspect that Ludovic has
*the pwlib and pwlib-dev packages on this box, 
*possibly has the opal and opal-dev packages on his box.

and is then compiling the source extracted from an opal tarball.

the source he is compiling is including headers from pwlib-dev.
the source he is compiling may be including headers from opal-dev
the source he is compiling may be including headers from the tarball.

This is not guaranted to work. In fact, it is a sure and accurate path to 
madness.
 My suggestion:: When compiling pwlib/opal etc, remove all packages 
pertaining to pwlib/opal-dev.

Derek.
