I have the packages OCaml 3.08.1-1, libpcre 6.3-1, and pcre 6.3-1 all from a default recent Cygwin installation, so it seems to me that I should be able to install PCRE-OCaml (I'm getting the most recent version, 5.10.1) straight away. Here is what I get, though: ===== /tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1 $ make [everything succeeds, though there is one warning: pcre_stubs.c:1: warning: -fPIC ignored for target (all code is position independent) ] /tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1 $ make install make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1/lib' Installing library with ocamlfind ocamlfind install pcre META pcre.mli pcre.cmi pcre.cma pcre.cmxa pcre.a libpcre_stubs.a dllpcre_stubs.so ocamlfind: Package pcre is already installed; please remove it first - (directory /usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib/pcre already exists) make[1]: *** [libinstall] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1/lib' make: *** [install] Error 2 ===== If I try to uninstall, however, I get the following problem: ===== /tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1 $ make uninstall make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1/lib' Uninstalling library with ocamlfind ocamlfind remove pcre ocamlfind: Package `pcre' not found make[1]: *** [libuninstall] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1/lib' make: *** [uninstall] Error 2 ===== Now, the directory /usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib/pcre is actually empty; if I delete it and try to install, the following happens: ===== $ make install make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1/lib' Installing library with ocamlfind ocamlfind install pcre META pcre.mli pcre.cmi pcre.cma pcre.cmxa pcre.a libpcre_stubs.a dllpcre_stubs.so ocamlfind: dllpcre_stubs.so: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [libinstall] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1/lib' make: *** [install] Error 2 ===== Any suggestions? I really hate using the str library for regular expressions, since it has global state. I notice that Brian Donovan asked the same thing (though he was trying to install it using the MSVC and Win32 makefiles, both of which failed) about 18 months ago, and didn't seem to get a satisfactory reply! http://caml.inria.fr/pub/ml-archives/caml-list/2004/05/55a1a6ea9c641248fdc4da86e52f58b9.en.html Many thanks in advance for any help!
