Re: [Caml-list] Problems installing with opam

[Helmut Brandl <helmut.brandl@gmx.net>]

Isn't there another way than patching. I just want to install 
"js_of_ocaml" and use it. However "js_of_ocam" requires "lwt" which 
requires "camlp4". All these packages are oficial packages in the opam 
repository. I.e. they should be installable with opam without patching.

If I understand you correctly you are saying that the opam repository is 
inconsistent and nobody can install "camlp4", "lwt" and "js_of_ocaml" 
using some 4.x.x compiler of "ocaml". Why not fix the problem?

Or did I get something wrong?

Regards
Helmut
