Because if it had I'd have spotted the problem immediately: there is no control file, only a control.in, the target 'transition' has to be run to patch the Ocaml ABI number in, creating the control file .. I did do this manually .. but not in the directory where the system was looking, which was actually ../build-area/felix-1.1.2/ However I'm still lost, as to when to create 'control' since it isn't actually exported to the build area. I need it to be (I can't use the correct ABI numbers because I'm running CVS ocaml, not the Debian installed one, so I have to hack the ABI numbers for testing .. or try to do the build in the chroot) -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
