While trying to emerge dev-lang/caml-light-0.75 I ran into the following problem symtab.c: In function 'make_bucket': symtab.c:37: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strlen' symtab.c:49: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strcpy' gcc -O -DNDEBUG -fno-defer-pop -D__FAVOR_BSD -c -o verbose.o verbose.c gcc -O -DNDEBUG -fno-defer-pop -D__FAVOR_BSD -c -o warshall.o warshall.c gcc -O -DNDEBUG -fno-defer-pop -D__FAVOR_BSD -o camlyacc closure.o error.o lalr.o lr0.o main.o mkpar.o output.o reader.o skeleton.o symtab.o verbose.o warshall.o cp yacc/camlyacc . cd lib; make CPP="/lib/cpp -P -traditional -Dunix" all ../camlrun ../camlcomp -stdlib . -O none -g -W arg.mli Fatal error: the file ../camlcomp is not a bytecode executable file Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

this problem persists (and will probably never be fixed). one is probably best off using either ocaml, which is actively developer or the binary for 0.7.5, which can be found here: http://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/caml-light-0.75//cl75macosx10.3.5.dmg
