If you are starting from a fresh Ubuntu, there is no /usr/local/lib/ocaml, much less a /usr/local/lib/ocaml/3.12.1. I guess that you created this directory as root on your distribution, but ?from the fact that you are installing the OCaml packages? you do not seem to want to use it to build Frama-C. Unless you are compiling Frama-C with a compiler that you compiled and installed locally, but in this case, installing the distribution's OCaml packages is asking for trouble, and creating this kind of link even more so. Anyway, Zarith is a nice-to-have, but it does not bring any extra functionality. It makes some analyses take less memory and time. If you are not going to spend more than five hours in total waiting on Frama-C, you can completely omit it. Pascal -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
