No, it is simply because camlp4 3.10 got rid of pa_extend.cmo. See for example http://martin.jambon.free.fr/examples/pa_json_static_3100beta.html for a comparison of the required compilation commands. > What is with camlp5 and camlp4? > Will camlp5 replace camlp4? > Will it afterwards be renamed to camlp4? CamlP4 is the legacy/official one, integrated with OCaml. It changed significantly from OCaml 3.09 to 3.10. CamlP5 is no longer legacy, but descend from the line of development of CamlP4 pre-3.10. > When will there be a consistent new way to work with this > tools?

So, in essence, you don't have any specific problem with your installation, nor there is one with the Debian packages you are using. You just need to decide against which "flavor" of CamlP* you want to develop. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -o- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.
