Re: [Caml-list] problem installing janestreet core through godi
Thank you for the replies. In type_class.ml and type_class.mli, I replaced (*pp cpp $ARCH_FLAGS *) with (*pp gcc -E $ARCH_FLAGS *). The compilation gets further but now fails with:... ocamlfind ocamlc -package type-conv -c -I +camlp4 -for-pack Bin_prot binable.ml File binable.ml, line 36, characters 21-46: Unbound type constructor Type_class.writer On Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 4:16 AM, Mark Shinwell [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 04:22:09PM -0400, Markus Mottl wrote: 2008/10/21 Ashish Agarwal [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I am having trouble installing JaneStreet's Core library through godi.

This means that this fix solved the problem. You have now run into another, known one: the core library is badly out of date, and needs to be updated to work with newer releases of bin-prot. We will make a release within (probably) the next few weeks. In the meanwhile you might want to downgrade bin-prot to make it work with core. I'll add a patch to bin-prot to make it work on Macs in the meanwhile... Regards, Markus -- Markus Mottlhttp://www.ocaml.info[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Caml-list mailing list.

Re: [Caml-list] problem installing janestreet core through godi
Hi, list, Thank you for the replies. In type_class.ml and type_class.mli, I replaced (*pp cpp $ARCH_FLAGS *) with (*pp gcc -E $ARCH_FLAGS *). Another option is to use /usr/bin/cpp-4.2 instead of /usr/bin/cpp. After making symbolic link ~/bin/cpp to /usr/bin/cpp-4.2 (and put `~/ bin' in PATH), I succeed to build bin-proto without source code modification. -- nobuyuki___ Caml-list mailing list.
