Hi Rob, Yes, you not only need a sufficiently recent version of Camlp5 for your version of OCaml, you also need to create a sufficiently recent adapted-for-HOL-Light version of pa_j.ml (adapted from Camlp5 source code files etc/). You are right that you can work out what adaptions to do by diffing corresponding older versions of the unadapted and adapted Camlp5 files. These Camlp5 files are 'lib/lexer.ml' and 'etc/pa_o.ml', but the adaption for HOL Light is combined into one file called 'pa_o.ml'. Note that Camlp5 6.07 or later is required for OCaml 4.00, and Camlp5 6.11 or later is required for OCaml 4.01.
I think the warnings you get may be from superfluous #load directives in your adapted 'pa_j.ml' file, so comment out the following two lines in the adapted 'pa_o.ml' file and everything should go smoothly: #load "pa_extend.cmo";; #load "q_MLast.cmo";; Note that HOL Zero (also implemented in OCaml) does a similar thing to HOL Light, in that it uses Camlp5 to adjust the OCaml lexical syntax for HOL quotations (although in HOL Light there are also changes to the OCaml syntax). Installation works smoothly for HOL Zero for all versions of OCaml. Also, the HOL Zero distribution has relatively detailed comments in Section 2 of INSTALL and Section 2 of 'etc/README', if you want to understand a little more about what is going on.
