The emacs version is 24.4.1. The .emacs file is the one you sent me. When I fire this up, font-lock-mode is enabled, but nothing is colorized when I load a .ml file. If I explicitly font-lock- fontify-buffer, and then type anything, I get the error message:
Symbol’s function definition is void: tuareg-syntax-propertize I’m going to try the most recent head of tuareg to see if this fixes the problem.
