They build against source of ocaml which are not LGPL ( the std lib is LGPL but the compiler source and cmo are not LGPL ). I need to check, but i promise you that the cmo on which epeire are linking, are not at all LGPL ( don't remember the precise term used for thus library ). > > > It will keep cameleon free of the compiler...

To my mind it is better to deal with a clean cameleon installation and then we will consider the inclusion of epeire and camtop... Kind regard. Sylvain LE GALL
