Sorry Onkar, didn't see this until now because of all the other status
messages on this list. I hope this reply doesn't come too late.
You can use lacaml in various ways. Certainly the easiest way is to
use ocamlfind / topfind, like this:
$ ocaml
Objective Caml version 3.11.1
# #use "topfind";;
- : unit = ()
Findlib has been successfully loaded. Additional directives:
#require "package";; to load a package
#list;; to list the available packages
#camlp4o;; to load camlp4 (standard syntax)
#camlp4r;; to load camlp4 (revised syntax)
#predicates "p,q,...";; to set these predicates
Topfind.reset();; to force that packages will be reloaded
#thread;; to enable threads
- : unit = ()
# #require "lacaml";;
/usr/lib64/ocaml/unix.cma: loaded
/usr/lib64/ocaml/bigarray.cma: loaded
/usr/lib64/ocaml/lacaml: added to search path
/usr/lib64/ocaml/lacaml/lacaml.cma: loaded
/usr/lib64/ocaml/lacaml/lacaml_top.cma: loaded
You can then do:
open Lacaml.Impl.S
and there are hundreds of functions available. Probably best to read
the documentation:
http://hg.ocaml.info/release/lacaml/raw-file/release-5.4.7/README.txt
In general terms, lacaml on Fedora should behave and act exactly the
same way as it does on other OCaml distributions. If there are any
differences, they might be bugs, so file a bugzilla.
