Recent versions of Emacs (e.g. 19.30) understand perfectly well the
Caml error messages. (I wrote the Emacs maintainers about three years
ago asking them to add the correct regexp for Caml.)
If you're using an old version of Emacs, the caml.el file distributed
along with Caml Light (in contrib/camlmode) adds the correct regexp
for parsing Caml error messages. It also provides a refined
"next-error" function that highlights the error location more
precisely than Emacs normally does.
Ian Zimmerman's "electric" Caml mode for Emacs
(ftp://pauillac.inria.fr/lang/caml-light/Usercontribs)
provides the same support for Caml error messages.
