Error: Unbound value Ppl.manager_alloc_strict - ocaml

I just installed a package called Ppl, here is the result of find -name "*ppl.*" under /usr/:
./lib/libppl.so.7.1.0
./lib/libppl.so.7
./lib/libcloog-ppl.so.0

./local/lib/libppl.so.9.0.0
But when I run the following code by ocamlc -I /usr/local/lib/ocaml/3.11.2/apron -I /usr/local/lib/ocaml/3.11.2/gmp/ -I /usr/local/lib/ -c file.ml, I got an error Unbound value Ppl.manager_alloc_strict.

Does anyone know what happened? Thank you very much!

You've showed us the library, but not anything regarding the OCaml interface to the library -- cmx or cmxa for native compilation. Just as the comment I left prior, do the same thing with where Ppl package for OCaml is. OCaml is not interfacing with the C library directly (.a, .so), but through a compiled interface (cmxa or cmi files).
You might also consider using the ocamlbuild system. You can tag modules with external dependencies, and have the build system find the package (via ocamlfind, or hard-coded).

Z3 bindings on ocaml

I am currently using ocaml 4.06.0 and I am trying to use the Z3 sat solver. I am using opam's oasis to compile the files (which is building everything successfully). However, when I run the native code produced I am getting the following error: error while loading shared libraries: libz3.so. I tried reinstalling the z3 package but the error still persists. Can anyone help me solve this please because I have no idea what else to try?
Here is what I did just now to install z3 under Ubuntu 18.04.1:
$ opam depext conf-gmp.1
$ opam depext conf-m4.1
These installed gmp and m4 outside of opam. Pretty impressive.
$ opam install z3
Now the z3 library is installed so you can use it from OCaml code. But there are no executables installed (that I can find).
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.opam/4.06.0/lib/z3
$ ocaml -I ~/.opam/4.06.0/lib/z3
OCaml version 4.06.0
# #load "nums.cma";;
# #load "z3ml.cma";;
# let ctx = Z3.mk_context [];;
val ctx : Z3.context = <abstr>
The setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH is what makes it possible to find libz3.so.
This is as far as I got for now. Maybe this will be helpful.
Update
Here is how I compiled and linked a test program.
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.opam/4.06.0/lib/z3
$ cat tz3.ml
let context = Z3.mk_context []
let solver = Z3.Solver.mk_solver context None
let xsy = Z3.Symbol.mk_string context "x"
let x = Z3.Boolean.mk_const context xsy
let () = Z3.Solver.add solver [x]
let main () =
match Z3.Solver.check solver [] with
| UNSATISFIABLE -> Printf.printf "unsat\n"
| UNKNOWN -> Printf.printf "unknown"
| SATISFIABLE ->
match Z3.Solver.get_model solver with
| None -> ()
| Some model ->
Printf.printf "%s\n"
(Z3.Model.to_string model)
let () = main ()
$ ocamlopt -I ~/.opam/4.06.0/lib/z3 -o tz3 \
nums.cmxa z3ml.cmxa tz3.ml
$ ./tz3
(define-fun x () Bool
true)
$ unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ ./tz3
./tz3: error while loading shared libraries: libz3.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It works--i.e., it says that the trivial formula x can be satisfied by making x be true.
Note: initially I thought the setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH wasn't necessary here. But in later testing I've found that it is necessary. So that is probably the key to your problem.
It's a little cumbersome and error prone to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for running your programs. It's good enough for personal testing, but probably not for any kind of wider deployment. There are ways to set the search path for shared libraries at link time.
I hope this helps.

Frama-C Aluminum "Unbound module GMenu"

On Fedora 21, I compiled the Frama-C Aluminum distribution from source after installing all its prerequisites. My version of OCaml is 4.02.3. Frama-C and the Frama-C GUI work fine. I am trying to follow section 2.3, "The ViewCfg plug-in" of the Frama-C Plug-In Development Guide. However, in section 2.3.4, "Extending the Frama-C GUI", after I add the GUI extension code and run it using the "-load-script" option, I get the following message:
File "cfg_print.ml", line 87, characters 19-43:
Error: Unbound module GMenu
[kernel] user error: compilation of 'cfg_print.ml' failed
Lines 86-87 read:
let cfg_selector
(popup_factory:GMenu.menu GMenu.factory) main_ui ~button:_ localizable =
I googled "unbound module gmenu" but didn't find anything useful. I also never ran into this error while using the Neon and Sodium versions of Frama-C. Interestingly, if I skip that section and follow section 2.3.5, "Splitting files and writing a Makefile", I no longer get the "Unbound module GMenu" message, and the example works fine.
If I had to guess, when I use the "-load-script" option, Frama-C (or my version of OCaml, whatever the case may be) apparently cannot find the Gtk libraries for some reason. But if I use make, OCaml can find the Gtk libraries. Is there something possibly wrong with the way I installed Frama-C and/or the Gtk libraries? How can I check this, or more importantly, how can I fix this?
Your Frama-C installation is probably ok. What you observe is a bug that was introduced when we transitioned to OCamlfind. We will fix it for Frama-C Silicium.
In case you really want to use a script, here is the patch that you need to apply to the sources of Frama-C:
--- a/src/kernel_services/plugin_entry_points/dynamic.ml
+++ b/src/kernel_services/plugin_entry_points/dynamic.ml
## -236,7 +236,7 ## let load_script base =

+ if !Config.is_gui then Format.pp_print_string fmt " -package lablgtk2" ;

Compiling program that uses Lwt_term

I have the following code in OCaml:
open Lwt
open Lwt_term
let () = Lwt_main.run (
lwt l = Lwt_read_line.read_line ~prompt:[text "foo> "] ())
when I try to compile using
ocamlfind ocamlc -package lwt cli.ml - o cli.byte
it I get the following error:
File "cli.ml", line 2, characters 0-13:
Error: Unbound module Lwt_term
I know it's unrelated to the problem above, but from utop I can open Lwt but I still can't open Lwt_term. What am I doing wrong?
Source file is located there so I bet that you need lwt.text package
Not really a real answer to the original question, but I have ended up using Core to accomplish it. The enlightenment came from finding the readline_test.ml file in a tests folder in the Core library (https://github.com/janestreet/core_extended/blob/master/lib_test/readline_test.ml).
Following that example it was really easy to implement readline-like functionality.

OCaml - compiling a program as a library

I have an OCaml program(with a main method - it generates an executable) and I want to use it as a library.
I was compiling my program like this: ocamlc -I someDir -g -unsafe lotsOfCmoFiles -o outputFile and the program works fine.
Now I'm removing the line that makes it an executable(something like let _ = ...) and adding -a parameter to compile command: ocamlc -a -I someDir -g -unsafe lotsOfCmoFiles -o outputFile.cma
But somehow I can't load generated .cma file with ocamltop and ocamlbrowser shows an empty list. When I try to load from ocamltop:
# #load "outputFile.cma";;
Error: Reference to undefined global `Xyz'
And I'm 100% sure that xyz.cmo is included in lotsOfCmoFiles.
Am I giving some parameter wrong while compiling? Or else, what should I do to load my program in ocamltop ? (I'll use this library in another program, I'm giving ocamltop outputs as an example)
Any helps will be appreciated.
EDIT: So I can finally managed to compile and load it thanks to #cago, now I can load my library, and when I don't remove the main let _ = ... line it's automatically run when I load the .cma.
But I still can't open any modules. Strangely, this doesn't raise an exception
open Main
but then when I call a function from module Main:
# someFun;;
Error: Reference to undefined global `Main'
and ocamlbrowse still shows an empty list. now why is that?
EDIT2: I realized open Main doesn't fail because I have a Main module in the same folder(even though I didn't explicitly load it). If I move my .cma file somewhere else and load it, it works(ie. main function runs automatically), but now I can't open any modules even though ocamlobjinfo shows the modules.
EDIT3: -I doesn't help:
$ ocaml
OCaml version 4.00.1
# #load "lib.cma";;
ok
# open Lib;;
Error: Unbound module Lib
#
$ ocaml -I libFolder
OCaml version 4.00.1
# #load "toylib.cma";;
ok
# open Lib;;
# fun;;
Error: Reference to undefined global `Lib'
Some of the cmo in your lotsOfCmoFiles need to know the module Xyz. You need to take care of the dependency between your cmo files.
For example:
toto.ml:
let x = "toto"
titi.ml:
let y = Toto.x ^ " titi"
ocamlc -c toto.ml
ocamlc -c titi.ml
ocamlc -a titi.cmo toto.cmo -o lib.cma (* here is the probleme *)
# #load "lib.cma"
Error: Reference to undefined global `Toto'
Because titi depends on toto so you need to change the order of cmos:
ocamlc -a toto.cmo titi.cmo -o lib.cma
# #load "lib.cma"
# Titi.y;;
- : string = "toto titi"
EDIT:
If your cma is in a subdirectory for example, when you call ocaml you need to specify the path:
ocaml -I subdir/ (* subdir which contains lib.cma *)
# #load "lib.cma"
# Toto.x;;
- : string = "toto"
TL;DR: Make sure you don't have any top-level side-effects in the
I was running into this same kind of trouble. My project would build fine, most modules were available, but there was one module that kept triggering Reference to undefined global. But it was clear that the module was visible to the system: it was showing up in utop's autocomplete list, along with all of it's values, and I could reference it and import it into other modules.
The problem turned out to be an uncaught exception that was being thrown when that module was loaded. The exception was due to an attempt to load a non-existing file. It wouldn't cause problems during complication, but when the module was actually loaded it was breaking and the exception was being swallowed somewhere before I ever saw it.

Regular Expressions in OCaml

I want to use regexps in OCaml and it seems that Str module provides these functionalities.
So I tried with a simple program:
open Str
let regx = regexp "."
but it gives me the following error
File "lol.ml", line 1, characters 0-1:
Error: Error while linking lol.cmo:
Reference to undefined global `Str'
As if module is not present but if I remove open Str it says that regexp is an unbound value.
I don't get what kind of issue it is, Str should be a standard module (according to http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/old-311/libref/Str.html) so I'm clueless.. the only think I thought is that signature (mli) is present but implementation (ml) is not.
I'm running Objective Caml version 3.11.0 according to ocaml tool.
Can anyone help me figuring this out?
Thanks in advance
From the manual:
Programs that use the str library must be linked as follows:
ocamlc other options str.cma other files
ocamlopt other options str.cmxa other files
Or you can put
#load "str.cma";;
if you are doing it in the interpreter
As an alternative to the Str module there's also Re2.
Install it using opam install re2
Use the module in your_file.ml like this:
open Re2.Std
open Re2.Infix
let change input_text = Re2.rewrite_exn ~/"change this" "to that" input_text
let () = printf "%s" (change "change this")
Compile with ocamlbuild -use-ocamlfind -package re2 -package core -tag thread your_file.byte
