Hi,
Installing OPAM worked fine, but most of the packages won't install because
of issues with ocamlfind.

> opam install ocamlfind
The following actions will be performed:
 - install ocamlfind.1.3.3
1 to install | 0 to reinstall | 0 to upgrade | 0 to downgrade | 0 to remove

=-=-= ocamlfind.1.3.3 =-=-=
The archive for ocamlfind.1.3.3 is in the local cache.
Extracting /home/deech/.opam/archives/ocamlfind.1.3.3+opam.tar.gz.
Building ocamlfind.1.3.3:
  ./configure -bindir /home/deech/.opam/system/bin -sitelib
/home/deech/.opam/system/lib -mandir /home/deech/.opam/system/man -config
/home/deech/.opam/system/lib/findlib.conf -no-topfind
  make all
  make opt
  make install
  ocamlfind remove dbm
The compilation of ocamlfind.1.3.3 failed.
