I also experienced these problems recently. Some versions of camlp5 are 
not supported by HOL Light, and you also have to compile with the right 
options. Even worse, some distributions even ship packages of 
ocaml/camlp5 that are incompatible to each other.

My solution was to build everything from sources, which makes me 
independent from distro packaging issues. I automated all this in a 
little script, which is very convenient if I quickly have to get HOL 
Light up and running on a new machine.

For anyone suffering these issues, here is my script (for linux).

Of course now you need the build dependencies for ocaml (gcc etc.), but 
this is usually easy to get from your distribution...

Comments and patches are of course welcome...
