Re: [Caml-list] Setting up OcaIDE

You need to tell Eclipse/OcaIDE to load the right environment variables (to locate your OPAM installation).

I am not very used to OcaIDE so I can't help you much there, but I can suggest few workaround:

- start Eclipse on the command-line -- be sure to have "eval `opam config env`" before. It it works that means that your application is not run with the right environment variables -- dunno how to fix this properly on OSX.

- copy paste:
> let () =
>   try Topdirs.dir_directory (Sys.getenv "OCAML_TOPLEVEL_PATH")
>   with Not_found -> ()
directly in the Eclipse top-level, and run "#load "topfind" again. If it works, that means that OCaIDE is not loading ~/.ocamlinit (a bug worth reporting upstream) 

- change the path of ocaml& ocamlc/ocamlopt in some OcaIDE menus to hard-code /Users/caseybasichis/.opam/4.01.0dev+trunk/bin/ocaml{,c,opt}

Hope this help,

Thomas
