no syntax highlighting with emacs

no syntax highlighting with emacs

[Colonna Francois]

Hello

I installed OCaml 3.10.0 
I also installed emacs .el files by running 
make install    in the emacs/ directory of ocaml

I did not get the syntax highlighting 

Looking at /usr/share/emacs/21.4/site-lisp

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  1687 aoû 22 11:56 caml-compat.el
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33119 aoû 22 11:56 camldebug.el

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  8967 aoû 22 11:56 inf-caml.elc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   106 mar 24 07:11 subdirs.el

it seems that caml-hilit.elc is missing.
Is that the reason why there is no syntax highlighting ?

Thanks for helping

No, you just have include caml-font (rather than caml-hilit) by hand:
   (if window-system (require 'caml-font))
as explained in the README file in the emacs directory.
