Command exited with code 2.**


Compilation unsuccessful after building 6 targets (5 cached) in 00:00:00.**

I have found toploop.cmi in path:

cd OCaml/lib/ocaml/compiler-libs/
ls topl*

toploop.cmi

and as you see,

export PATH=/home/xxx/OCaml/lib/ocaml/compiler-libs/:$PATH

I have made /home/xxx/... as my system path. But it still did not work. What I should do to include the module toploop?

Answer 1

You appear to be compiling Batteries (which version?) with OCaml 4.00, which introduced the new compiler-libs directory (but some distributions had one before so that may be off). toploop used to be at the root of the OCaml stdlib's directory, but you should now add a -I +compiler-libs option somewhere, or use the corresponding ocamlfind packaging (-package compiler-libs.toplevel).
