[opam-devel] Error installing ocamlfind using Ubuntu's OPAM package

[Anil Madhavapeddy]

Hi Jon,

You're missing just one system package required to build ocamlfind called 'm4'.  Just add

sudo apt-get install m4

to your command set below and you should be fine.  For installing Cohttp with the Core backend, do:

opam install cohttp ssl async 

Let us know if this doesn't work out.

best,
Anil
