I do use OCaml on AIX. However, due to the problems you have mentioned, ocamlopt has never worked for us (I believe it wouldn't even compile in AIX5.1L). I would actually be in favor of removing it assuming ocamlc -custom continues to work. It would probably make the build process easier on AIX. -- John ------------------- 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
