I wanted to compile my project using command:
ocamlfind ocamlopt -package ocamlnet -package batteries -package unix -linkpkg oauth.ml
but I'm getting following error:
ocamlfind: Package `ocamlnet' not found
make: *** [oauth.cmi] Error 2
After some research on this problem I have read that there may be problem with packages installed via opam and packages installed before opam installation (in this case with ocamlfind) so I tried to check that and get stuck because ocamlfind is installed via opam. Does anybody know what may I try to do to solve that problem?
$ which ocamlfind
/home/user/.opam/4.00.1/bin/ocamlfind
$ opam list
Installed packages for 4.00.1:
[...]
ocamlfind 1.4.0 A library manager for OCaml
[...]
Thanks in advance.
Do a:
eval $(opam config env)
That should fix the problem.
# Edit 1:
If it still does not work remove the dir
/home/user/.opam/4.00.1
and try it again.
I'm making answer because of limit in comments and partial results I've made. Here is the result of 'grep -r 'ocamlnet' *' at '~/.opam' directory: http://pastebin.com/8cJqMXDY by looking at lines 1-90 we may conclude that there is actually no ocamlnet library at all (or I'm looking for it in wrong place - but as I wrote in comment everything were installed using opam - I'd be glad to hear some opinions on this subject). These suspicions may be partially confirmed in two ways:
lines 90-* doesn't seem like something other than some files needed to manage this package using opam. E.g.
~/.opam/repo/default/packages/ocamlnet$ tree -r .

I do not have a sufficiently large knowledge to go into it deeper but it looks for me like that ocamlnet become just a shortcut for a few another packages used by opam. Especially that after changing
-package ocamlnet
to exact module which I'm using
-package netstring
everything has compiled fine. I'm still open to any other solutions or explenations for the curious case of ocamlnet package (and Michael's hints) B).
