Hi, I’m installing ocaml using the https://ocaml.org/docs/installing-ocaml guide on a Open SUSE machine and I am getting some errors when using the command opam install ocaml-lsp-server odoc ocamlformat utop saying that the file /usr/lib64/ocaml/compiler-libs/ocamlcommon.cmxa is unavailable while compiling base.v0.16.3. It also fails while compiling odoc. The full command output is at the bottom of this post.
I tried installing opam using the package manager as well as the binary distribution, and both gave me the same result. I also tried using opam update opam upgrade command. Any help would be appreciated.
Below is the full output of the opam install command. It already installed some dependencies as well as utop before, but always fails for the remaining packages.
[NOTE] Package utop is already installed (current version is 2.14.0).
The following actions will be performed:
=== install 6 packages
∗ base v0.16.3 [required by ocaml-lsp-server]
∗ ocaml-lsp-server 1.18.0
∗ ocamlformat 0.26.2
∗ ocamlformat-lib 0.26.2 [required by ocamlformat]
∗ odoc 2.4.2
∗ stdio v0.16.0 [required by ocamlformat-lib]
Proceed with ∗ 6 installations? [y/n] y
