This is a bit problematic, since some softwares must use the CVS version of ocaml, only when compiled on Mac OS X (because of the signal bug), but cannot stay compatible with the 3.06 distrib because of this change in the format type. Will there be a new official release soon ? It's not that important, the configure script can detect and correct that, but it would be nice to have a Jaguar-compatible official distrib of ocaml... - Fabrice ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
