ocaml fails on Tiger (was: Re: sudo port install mldonkey)

[Charlse Darwin]

# README from pre-compiled reads:

# This package installs Objective Caml version 3.10.0.
# You need Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger), with X11 and the
# XCode tools (v2.4) installed.

# Files will be installed in the following directories:

# /usr/local/bin - command-line executables
# /usr/local/lib/ocaml - library and support files
# /usr/local/man - manual pages

# I installed ocaml from precompiled binary

# <http://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/ocaml-3.10/ocaml-3.10.0-ppc.dmg>
