The standard way to add OCaml packages to RHEL would be to use EPEL (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL). Unfortunately support for OCaml packages in EPEL-4 (RHEL-4) was very poor indeed. We only supported OCaml 3.09.2 + three other packages, specifically camlimages, ocaml-SDL and freetennis. If you can assure me that (a) you can use EPEL-4 (ie. your admins will allow you to add it as an extra repository), and (b) that you'll test this, and (c) you can give me a complete list of OCaml packages you'd like, then I can have a look at what it would take to add those packages to EPEL-4 for you. Note that we cannot upgrade the base OCaml package (3.09.2) in EPEL releases, because EPEL is supposed to be super-stable. If not the above, then your best bet is probably to use GODI. Rich. PS.
