(It was only fixed on Thursday last week). These are the packages minimum versions which contain the fix: ocaml >= 3.10.1-3 (for F-9) ocaml >= 3.10.2-2 (for Rawhide) Because the packages are so new, you may need to enable the updates-testing repository temporarily to get the new version. I think the command is: yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install ocaml or you can edit some file under /etc/yum.repos.d/ to enable the repository permanently. OMake (ocaml-omake) is included in Fedora 9 (and 8), but possibly you need to enable the updates or updates-testing repository to get it, since it was only added a couple of weeks ago: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/FEDORA-2008-3725 Here's a complete list of packages in Fedora: http://wiki.cocan.org/getting_started_with_ocaml_on_red_hat_and_fedora#Package_status > echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space > > One thing I noticed that is different is that > > cat /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space > > returns 2 (before echo 0 ...) on my machine as opposed to 1 which is > what most of the people in the bug-fix notes reported. These don't fix the problem on Fedora. The fix needs a patch to the OCaml compiler. The details are here, but as emphasized above, please use the Fedora packages, don't build stuff by hand. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/445545 Rich. -- Richard Jones Red Hat
