I don't know how this exception escaped (it is suppo= sed to be caught by the compiler) but it looks like you have some old .cmi = files lying around that were compiled by your previous version of OCaml. Yo= u should remove them, and also the .cmo, .cmx, etc. and recompile everythin= g (including any third-party libraries that you might have installed).

Hello
My OS is windows XP SP3.
Two years ago, I installed OCaml.4.00.1 from the source code distribution, = using MinGW Cygwin. Everything worked fine.
Yesterday I tried to install OCaml.4.02.1 in the same conditions (source
code,MinGW Cygwin).
The process seems to be exactly the same, following README.win32 (except fo= r
the variable TK_ROOT in Makefile, no longer pertinent).
The system build with no fatal error. I got some (many!) warnings, but as I=
remember, it was the same with version 4.00.1.
But, when I tried to launch ocaml.exe I got the message:

D:\OCaml-4.02.1-mgw-perso\bin>ocaml.exe
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0OCaml version 4.02.1

Fatal error: exception Cmi_format.Error(_)

The exception Error is not listed (at least for the module Cmi_format) in the index of exceptions of the manual. Perhaps a problem of Dynamic link, but I don't know what to do.
And there is no description associated with the exception!
A search on the Web didn't give me informations I could understand.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Alain Coste
