We have another ticket for 32-bit build problems with ocaml on 10.6 https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28188 but it's a different error message and is years old so maybe the problem you're seeing is different. You could file a new ticket in our issue tracker, but it sounds like the problem is not MacPorts-specific, so you may have better luck reporting the problem to the developers of ocaml directly. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
