"ocaml_beginners"::[] PATH problem with GODI and Ubuntu

I installed Ocaml via GODI in my home dir instead of the default
/usr/... where Ubuntu usually installs the package.
However, when I try to execute commands with sudo, for example, a
simple 'sudo make install', I get some PATH problems because Ubuntu's
sudo is notorious for resetting the PATH, and so I temporarily lose
the location of the OCaml compilers.

So, how do other people that use Ubuntu and have installed Ocaml with
GODI in a non-standard directory cope with this?

Thanks.

I don't install things as root in my home directory, therefore I don't use
sudo for that.

Does it answer your question?
