I gave patching pplacer a try, but in more recent versions of OCaml strings are byte streams, so it=E2=80=99s quite a bit of work to figure out where exactly to convert strings to byte streams and back again. I=E2=80=99ll keep working on this for a while, but for now I=E2=80=99d like= to get pplacer resurrected with 4.02 first. -- Ricardo
