[Caml-list] why does "opam install graphics" fail?

I tried to install the ocaml graphics package, but it fails. Any suggestions for how I can fix it?
Other than the missing graphics package, my ocaml install is working fine.

Have you installed the ocaml using opam? Then it is just means, that at
installation time, the necessary dependencies for compiling the Graphics
module where not found, and the configure script has left them out.

Add the required dependencies and re-install the opam switch.

Unfortunately it means re-compiling all installed packages. Maybe, you can

a) add the dependencies
b) Install an alias for your switch
c) copy the graphics related libs/stubs to the original swich

Looks, like it may work, but I have not tried it.

[Tim Leonard]

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't seem to have helped. I get the same error with the same messages.

Do I need to rebuild from further back?

Not sure it is relevant to your case, but under macOS
you need to manually install X11. For instance you can
use https://www.xquartz.org/

(Obviously, it should be installed before compiling OCaml.)


Hope this helps,

Xavier

Is it in a "standard" location? The configure script will consider the
paths listed here:

Re: [Caml-list] why does "opam install graphics" fail?

Yes, X11 is in /opt/X11/include/ (and there's also a link from /usr/X11).

But since I ran this:

	$ opam switch 4.04.0
	$ eval `opam config env`
	$ opam install graphics

I can’t use topfind any more:

	# #use "topfind";;
	Cannot find file topfind.

You need to opam install ocamlfind - your new switch will have no packages in it.

I tried, and got this:
	[NOTE] Package ocamlfind is already installed (current version is 1.7.3-1).

You need not just X, but also Xlib development headers to be installed.

At least, that's the case on linux

Sorry, but I don’t even know what that would entail. Can you tell me how I can check to see if they’re installed, or how to install them?

Well, since I have no experience with Macs I can only guess, but the basic
workflow is the following:

The configure.sh script tries to find the "X11/Xlib.h" file and to compile
and link a simple C program using the X headers and libs. If this fails it
assumes that X is not installed and does not build the "Graphics" module.

That's the bare-bones version, but as I said, I have no experience with
Macs:

That's what a quick search have provided me with:

I’ve got Xlib.h in /opt/X11/include/X11/ so I’d guess that’s not the problem.

Sorry, it seems to have gotten installed by something else I just did (installing batteries and menhir, perhaps?). 
In any case, #use “topfind” now works, but still no graphics.
