It is in the CVS version (ocaml_version in stdlib/sys.mli).

Unfortunately, I don't think there is any solution to this problem.

Sure there is. You define ocaml as a scripting language.
Just like Python. Then, you compile files that need compilation
as required, automatically.  I bet this can be done with a small tool
which is an extension of 'ocamldep'.

you can use :

val version: string
        (* The current version number of the system *)

from utils/config.mli, which contain various other usefull stuff.

You would need to link in the utils/config.ml file yourself though, and
it is not standardly installed when ocaml is built, so you would need to
install it yourself by hand, if i am not mistaken.

Friendly,

[Caml-list] version of Ocaml...

[Basile STARYNKEVITCH]

Dear All Ocamlers,

Is there a programmatic way to get the used version of Ocaml? I am
missing a

  val version: string

in stdlib/sys.mli

Also, it seems that every piece of Ocaml code linked together has to
be compiled with exactly the same version of ocaml. This means that
(for example) I cannot try the latest CVS of ocaml while using
ocamlfind and extra libraries installed in the system
places. Apparently, to try the latest CVS I have to recompile all the
extra libraries I've already installed (eg ocamlnet)

Regards.
