Bug description

Hello,

I tried to install ocaml-3.01 on an old Suse-Linux
(SUSE 4.3).

No problems during configure.
Problems while running make: The file "boot/ocamlrun" was not found.

Is there a fix for that problem?

Another problem: On this system is no pthreads-library installed,
but the configure-summary tells, that threads-libs are supported.
I hope that is no problem, here (in the compiling-options the
pthread-libs are not).

Regards,
Oliver Bandel

Can't say with so little info. Is there a file boot/ocamlrun?
You can also set the OCAMLRUNPARAM environment variable to "v=511"
before doing "make world" and you should get more messages from the
system.

Another problem: On this system is no pthreads-library installed,
but the configure-summary tells, that threads-libs are supported.

Should be OK. By default, OCaml configures its own thread library
that does not rely on the POSIX pthread library.

Best regards,

No.

Hmhhh. i may have downloaded the wrong distribution.
It's not very hughlited, which version can be used
even without a previous OCAML.
So I may have downloaded the version, which needs a running
ocaml.

Oh, really? That's cool.
Does it work with an old 2.0.18-Linux kernel?

Be sure to do "make world" and not simply "make".
The compiler needs some boostraping code which is installed in boot only by
"make world".
