CamlImages doesnt compile from source on a Debian stable linux distro :

Several syntax errors :

• File "ftlow.ml", line 218, characters 43-44
  It seems that a '::' symbol had been replaced by ': :'
• File "freetype.ml", line 301, characters 16-17
  Since I havent read any of the camlimages files (doc or source), I am not
  sure
  to be right, but here is what has solved the build failure in my case :
  I have replaced fun x,y->... with fun (x,y)->...

I am forwarding your report to the authors of Camlimages. Both bugs are in the
freetype1 subdirectory.

You are right. These bugs seem to be introduced after all the
camlimages developper had shited to freetype2. We have never tried
to compile freetype1 interface for long. (And you should do the same,
too. FT2 is better.) Anyway, the fixes were commited to the CVS version.
