I am also getting the “ism: not scribbles” error. Annoying. I compiled on MacOS 10.5.6, PowerPC, using the latest xcode and ocaml, sqlite3 from macports.
Unfortunately, ghostwheel's prepackaged version is no help because it is compiled for Intel only.
Possibly, the problem is related to the following error in the configure stage?
Code:
ocamlfind ocamlmktop -o sqlite3top sqlite3.cma
make: ocamlfind: Command not found
make: *** [sqlite3top] Error 127
ocaml-sqlite3 build successful
It appears the configure script has an odd notion of success.
Anyway, “make opt” ended in failure:
Code:
/opt/local/bin/ocamlopt -o ism.opt -I /local/src/irex/irextools-0.3/libs/ocaml-sqlite3-1.2.0 -I /local/src/irex/irextools-0.3/libs/camlpdf-0.3 -cclib -L/local/src/irex/irextools-0.3/libs/ocaml-sqlite3-1.2.0 -cclib -Wl,-rpath=/local/src/irex/irextools-0.3/libs/ocaml-sqlite3-1.2.0 sqlite3.cmxa -I /local/src/irex/irextools-0.3/libs/ocaml-sqlite3-1.2.0 -I /local/src/irex/irextools-0.3/libs/camlpdf-0.3 -cclib -L/local/src/irex/irextools-0.3/libs/camlpdf-0.3 -cclib -Wl,-rpath=/local/src/irex/irextools-0.3/libs/camlpdf-0.3 unix.cmxa bigarray.cmxa str.cmxa camlpdf.cmxa irextools.cmxa ism.cmx
File "_none_", line 1, characters 0-1:

make: *** [ism.opt] Error 2
but plain “make” appeared to work, so I used that instead. irext appears to work ok, but ism does not.
