I believe you just need "ocaml" and "ocaml-camlp4" on CentOS, but please correct me if that's wrong.

I think it's better to do that and to document what packages are needed, rather than changing it for our local efforts.</div><div><br></div><div>However, it could be easier. I'll take a look at making the Travis scripts a bit more automated by sourcing a central copy of the script from somewhere on GitHub.
