[Caml-list] what is the expected output of "opam list"?

[Caml-list] what is the expected output of "opam list"?

[Matej Kosik]

Hi,

I do not have any prior experience with opam.

I am trying to install opam on CentOS 6.3.
I do not think that I can use compiled binaries here

  (wget http://www.ocamlpro.com/pub/opam_installer.sh
   sh ./opam_installer.sh /usr/local/bin)

because of libc version mismatch.

I have therefore decided to compile it from sources

  (wget http://www.ocamlpro.com/pub/opam-full-1.1.0.tar.gz
   tar xvzf opam-full-1.1.0.tar.gz
   mkdir ~/opam
   cd opam-full-1.1.0
   ./configure --prefix ~/opam
   make
   make install
   opam init)

When I type:

   opam list

I see:

   base-bigarray  base  Bigarray library distributed with the OCaml compiler
   base-threads   base  Threads library distributed with the OCaml compiler
   base-unix      base  Unix library distributed with the OCaml compiler

I guess that this is wrong although I am not sure what did I do wrong.
To put it another way: how can I install, say, mikmatch via opam?

Any good advice is welcome.

Salut,

opam list lists installed
opam list -a lists all (available and installed)

Kind regards,
Kakadu

I see. Thanks. I got confused by this:

  http://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Basic_Usage.html

where

  opam list

is said to:

  List all available packages

That used to be the behavior, so the documentation is out of date.

Indeed and I've just fixed that error [1].

If you see any other issues in the docs, please feel free to correct them: you can simply edit the wik[2]i and the change will propagate to the website automatically.
