Re: Opam installation woes

[Jonathan Ludlam <Jonathan.Ludlam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, next problem. On switching to the xen compiler, I'm getting a problem 
building ocamlfind: It's complaining about a missing separator in 
Makefile.config, but it's deleting it before I get a chance to see what's 
actually wrong. Is there any way to prevent opam from cleaning up after a 
failed build?

Cheers,

Jon
