Alternatively, you have defined too much In IHelloWorld
(depends on what you wanted to do in the first place).
Then try this:

      module type IHelloWorld =
      sig
        type helloWorldType (* now abstract *)
        val hello : unit -> helloWorldType 
      end

      module Wrapper (X: IHelloWorld) : 
        (IHelloWorld with type helloWorldType = X.helloWorldType) =
      struct
        type helloWorldType = X.helloWorldType
        let hello = X.hello
      end

        ...
