[Caml-list] unknown C primitive `float_compare'

[Caml-list] unknown C primitive `float_compare'

[Lex Stein]

Hi, I ./configure'd and built ocaml on a FreeBSD 4.7 system. And I get
this error:

node-10# make world ; make opt ;
... everything looks OK ...
node-10# ./ocaml
Fatal error: unknown C primitive `float_compare'

What's going on here?

Thanks,
Lex

Probably:
* you have not yet installed
* there is already a /usr/local/bin/ocamlrun on your system
* it is from an older version
then ocaml is trying to use it and fails.

I get the same error when running ocaml 3.07 with ocamlrun 3.06.
$ /usr/local/opt/ocaml-3.06/bin/ocamlrun ocaml
Fatal error: unknown C primitive `float_compare'

Before installing, this should be: ./boot/ocamlrun ./ocaml -I stdlib
