I also agree that a binary package is much less satisfactory anywhere
with a compilation environment.
I'd love to get a report on how well odb can be used on mac. Its second
test of usefulness was being able to install oasis, which has a *ton* of
deps. It passed this test a long time ago, and should install oasis
just fine.
If you have ocaml and findlib installed, odb should work for you. Of
course, let me know via its bugtracker or #ocaml on IRC if you have any
problems.
