Re: [Caml-list] Ocamlfind can’t find lexer in default folder compiler-libs

Hi Viet,

Probably you should use `-package compiler-libs.common` instead of
`-package lexer` (and if you do this you should not need to explicitly
pass the path to the compiler-libs directory with `-I`).

Hope it helps!

Best wishes,
Nicolás
