I am trying to install ocaml with a set of libraries on my FreeBSD 7 machine.

So far I have installed ocaml 3.10.2  from FreeBSD ports and I now trying to 
install bin_prot library manually.

make  fails to build the bin-prot with the following error:

gmake[2]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/home/eratosfen/Desktop/ocaml/bin-prot-1.0.5/lib'
ocamlfind ocamlc -package type-conv -c -pp "camlp4orf " -for-pack Bin_prot -I 
+camlp4 pa_bin_prot.ml
File "pa_bin_prot.ml", line 77, characters 19-48:
Unbound value Gen.drop_variance_annotations
gmake[1]: *** [pa_bin_prot.cmo] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/home/eratosfen/Desktop/ocaml/bin-prot-1.0.5/lib'


What is Gen.drop_variance_annotations? and why it is absent?

This indicates that your type-conv library, on which bin-prot depends,
is not up-to-date.  It is also highly recommended to upgrade to the
newest compiler release.

Cheers,

BTW, since I've been hit by this several time, can you please guys
(Jane St) remove the old libraries from
http://www.janestreet.com/ocaml/ ? Beside core, all other libraries
listed there are also listed on yours (Markus) homepage which much
newer version.

The mismatch is puzzling as best.

... oh, and many thanks for the libraries anyhow, they rock ;)
Cheers.
