Camlzip zlib: Zlib.Stream not found

Camlzip zlib: Zlib.Stream not found

[aditya siram]

Hi all,
I am trying to compile ocsigen which requires camlzip. I downloaded
camlzip (http://cristal.inria.fr/~xleroy/software.html#camlzip) which
installed to /usr/local/ocaml/lib/zip. To help ocamlfind I then copied
the META file from the godi-zlib package
(http://docs.camlcity.org/docs/godipkg/3.10/godi-zip/lib/ocaml/pkg-lib/camlzip/META)
to /usr/local/lib/ocaml/site-lib/camlzip/.

Now I get this error:
File "deflatemod.ml", line 73, characters 10-21:
Error: Unbound type constructor Zlib.stream
make[1]: *** [deflatemod.cmo] Error 2

Doesn't Zlib.stream come with camlzip?

Hi,

Just for clarification: are you trying to compile Ocsigen
outside of GODI?  Unless you have good reasons to do so
(you want to compile a development snapshot of Ocsigen,
for example), you can save yourself a lot of trouble by
simply compiling Ocsigen via the GODI package.

Now, if you really need to compile Ocsigen outside of GODI,
and since it seems you already have GODI installed, one
suggestion that would solve your problem is to use GODI
to install all of Ocsigen's dependencies beforehand.

Cheers,
