Package: ocaml
Version: 3.09.1-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
I just tried to run an ocaml program using Big_int. It failed.
big_int.mli, big_int.cmi and big_int.cmx are present. big_int.cma and
big_int.cmxa are missing. A snippet from the toplevel:
# Big_int.unit_big_int;;
Reference to undefined global `Big_int'
I'm not sure what this means.
Christopher

First, OCaml modules other than the standard library (see Chapter 20
of the manual) are not loaded in the toplevel. You have to do that
yourself, either on the command line, or using the #load directive
interactively.
Second, you want the "nums" library, which includes the Num and
Big_int modules (see Chapter 22 of the manual).
So you could do either
$ ocaml nums.cmxa
Objective Caml version 3.09.1
# Big_int.unit_big_int;;
- : Big_int.big_int = <abstr>
or:
$ ocaml
Objective Caml version 3.09.1
# #load "nums.cma";;
# Big_int.unit_big_int;;
- : Big_int.big_int = <abstr>
