Re: Isuues installing ocp-build.0.1

[Anil Madhavapeddy <anil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

What operating system are you using as your host?  I really don't like
this binary bootstrap of OPAM, as it's always going to be quite unreliable.

Instead, if you get the tarball manually:

$ curl -OL https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam/tarball/0.7.5
$ tar -zxvf 0.7.5
$ cd OCamlPro-opam-954f6a5
$ ./configure && make && sudo make install
$ opam init

One important thing before you proceed: you need to install the native
code versions of the OCaml compiler for this to work (at least until [1]
is fixed).  If you are on Debian, these are the 'ocaml-native-compilers'
package, or if you installed OCaml from source, do 'make world.opt' before
you do a 'make install'.
