Issue with installation "Unbound value"

Hi Lara,
the error message comes from the OCaml code of the CIRCE2 beamstrahlung generator inside WHIZARD. Unfortunately, OCaml has a very active code development, cf. https://ocaml.org/releases/4.08.0.html Item #2263, and https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/2263
So, this is broken with OCaml 4.08.x and 4.09.x. We will try to fix this a.s.a.p. (Thorsten already took action), in the meantime please use Macports, or Fink etc. to downgrade your OCaml version to 4.07. This is probably the easiest option right now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Cheers,
   JRR (Juergen)

Dear Lara,

thanks for reporting this.

We appear to have stumbled over an incompatible change in
version 4.08.0 of ocaml.

Until we release a workaround, can you install an older version
of ocaml? Everthing between 4.0.2.0 and 4.07.1 should be fine.

Cheers,
-Thorsten

Dear Juergen, Thorsten,

Thanks very much for your quick responses, and solutions offered - the fix of downgrading ocaml seems to be working fine.

Thanks again,
Lara
