This is due to do with Camlp5. I'm not sure whether HOL Light properly
supports the Camlp5 6.x versions (i.e. the latest versions). Which Camlp5
version are you using, as a matter of interest?
camlp5 -v
I've never known HOL Light to successfully build with Camlp5 6.x, but
according to the previous posting at least Camlp5 version 6.02.3 works for
some people (note that 6.02.3 requires a patch, for which you must have the
'patch' program installed):

However this does not seem to work for me! Presumably you are getting the
same problem as me. I recommend Camlp5 version 5.15. Old versions are
available towards the bottom of the Camlp5 page:
http://cristal.inria.fr/~ddr/camlp5/
This works for me with the latest HOL Light SVN download.
