0.7 failed compile in OPAM on OS X about ocaml-containers HOT 4 CLOSED

Submitted before I meant to— a really important piece of information is that this was on Mac OS X 10.6 (yes, very old).

from ocaml-containers.

Repeated test with opam install containers.0.6. Failed with same error.

# Error: Error while creating the library string/containers_string.a
# Command exited with code 2.
### stderr ###

Waitwaitwait. Really sorry about this, but I latched onto the ar bug I knew, and missed the root cause of the issue, which is:

/usr/bin/ranlib: object: src/string/containers_string.a(containers_string.o) malformed object (unknown load command 4)

Apparently this happens when you have a version mismatch (?) with regards to XCode command line tools: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10390186/install-name-tool-reporting-malformed-object

Either way, this is not a bug in containers.

Agreed, this is not a bug in containers.
