Hi all,

I was curious whether anyone has successfully built virt-top (version 1.0.8) on SUSE SLES11 SP3.

SUSE's ocaml support is rather limited, so I've built ocaml 4.00.1

I'm still running into a compile error on virt_top.ml, line 697: Error: This expression has type int -> D.typed_param list array but an expression was expected of type (string * D.typed_param_value) list array As a frame of reference I was able to build virt-top 1.0.8 from source on a Fedora Core 20 box with the necessary ocaml -devel RPMs installed (also ocaml 4.00.1), so I don't know if I'm running into other dependency issues or something else. The ocaml-libvirt package version 0.6.1.2 compiles successfully, which suggests that SLES 11 SP3 has a sufficient version of libvirt. Thanks in advance, Chris

One of these new features changes the API for an existing function. However there is no released tarball containing this change -- the ocaml-libvirt 0.6.1.2 in Fedora is patched. That causes the above error when you use new virt-top with ocaml-libvirt 0.6.1.2 tarball without this patch. I have just released ocaml-libvirt 0.6.1.4 which contains this patch. Unfortunately I cannot upload it to the website[2] for some reason right now, so I have put it here[3] instead temporarily. You will need to persuade the OPAM developers to move to this version.
