First try:

I added topfind to .ocamlinit, and in the interactive toplevel I see the startup
info, and I can enter [ #require "unix";; ],
but when I put [ #require "unix";; ] into my .ml file I get a syntax error on it:

str@suse122-intel:~/Ocaml/ml> ocaml unix2_exec.ml ls -l b\*
Unknown directive `require'.

Same error on compile with ocamlc. Sorry, I don't see how this is supposed to work.

/Str.
