caml-bin-prot build failure

[wchan212@…]

This is on the latest macbook air (2011) w/ OS X Lion 10.7

I've ran a sudo self port update before.. so should be latest port tree.

Build fails for caml-core. Here is the last few lines of the log file:

Please remember to fill in the Port field and cc the maintainer, and please use a summary that describes the issue, not just the command you ran.

I'm seeing this too. The relevant part of the log file seems to be:

:info:build I: Running command '/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_caml-bin-prot/caml-bin-prot/work/bin_prot-1.3.1/_build/lib_test/test_runner'

Forgot to mention my platform, which is a MacBook running OS X 10.5.8.

This problem is described and diagnosed at ​http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-OCaml-3.12.1-compatibility-report-td31935707.html

The fix requires a new version of bin-prot for compatibility with ocaml 3.12.1. Available from ​http://ocaml.janestcapital.com/?q=node/13

Should have been fixed by the update to 2.0.3 in r83985.
