I think I know what the problem was. I was compiling a program with
some of the source files in subdirectories, like

  ocalmfind ocamlc <some options> bootstrap/parallel.mli

Now when running ocamldoc like

  ocamlfind ocamldoc <some options> bootstrap/parallel.mli

it was capable of reading the source *.mli file but apparently it
also needs the *.cmi (or *.cmx ?) files which it could not find. So
the solution was to add the "include" option:

  ocamlfind ocamldoc <some options> -I bootstrap bootstrap/parallel.mli

So now everything is working well. Thank you for your help.

P.S. I am using the source files from subdirectories as a means of
sharing a source code between projects. It works but it is kind of
fragile. Does anyone have a better method?
