Hello Jerome. There was a question about cameleon compilation on debian on the caml-list today, about someone who is not able to build cameleon on a unstable debian system. Here is what he says : I followed the instructions in the INSTALL file, with "./configure --include-dir /usr/lib/ocaml". It complained that "pa_zog.cma" not in the search path. I cd to zoggy subdirectory and "make pa_zog.cma" to resolve the problem. Other errors I don't know how to fix easily. They include "Unbound value C.string" in "omom_gui_variables.ml", "Unbound module Cam_plug" when compile "utils.ml". Do you have any idea of what he is speaking about ? Maybe we should advertize that people at least cross post such questions here, altough these questions may more be upstream related, i don't really know. BTW, what is the status of the cameleon packages you are working on. Friendly, Sven Luther
