[ocaml-infra] Problem building ocaml.org locally

[Amir Chaudhry]

Yup, Philippe just IMed me to suggest the same:

eval `opam config env`

<tries some stuff>

Thank you both!  I've been able to track down the issue.  It was that my opam install didn't have the right files, specifically, `/.opam/opam-init/inith.sh` (which is what my `.bash_profile` calls).  Fixed by running `opam init` again and saying yes to modifying my files (it only had to update the files in the opam-init directory).

Thanks for the help!  I wouldn't have know where to look otherwise.

Amir :)
