opam installation incompatible with calmp4 about gsl-ocaml HOT 3 CLOSED

I'm afraid, but I haven't been able to replicate the problem. I've tried with the 4.03.0 opam switch though. You may want to consider upgrading, maybe this will solve your problem. If not, the problem doesn't seem to be related to the GSL package. Maybe there is an issue with the findlib configuration on your platform. If you find out how to solve the problem and it's something that can be changed in the GSL distribution, please feel free to submit a pull request.

hi, thanks for the answer. I'm on a quasi-fresh install of Mint KDE 18 (ie ubuntu 16.04).
In fact, after installing the ubuntu camlp4 package via 'apt-get install camlp4',
then it works. Good.
[But this is not supposed to work like this, right ? I thought opam camlp4 installation should be enough, and in fact I thought it was not a good practice to install ubuntu packages along the way.]

opam camlp4 should do the job. Maybe findlib is configured or even installed differently on your platform, which is why it expected to find camlp4 in the system path rather than in your local opam installation. Anyway, I don't think this issue requires any changes to the GSL-library itself. Feel free to reopen the issue if necessary.
