Camlp4 error

Camlp4 error

Hello,

the attached (partial) package is supposed to add GTK+ bindings for OCaml, which
I would like to have for unison. Building currently fails with the following
message:
camlp4o pa_macro.cmo -D HAS_PRINTEXC_BACKTRACE -impl gtkSignal.ml4 -o gtkSignal.ml
Camlp4: Uncaught exception: DynLoader.Error ("Camlp4MacroParser.cmo", "file not found in path")
Makefile:515: recipe for target 'gtkSignal.ml' failed

The file Camlp4MacroParser.cmo is available in
/gnu/store/ikshd53q3pp3mdcsjqp5kkfakmcjs4xp-camlp4-4.02.0+1/lib/camlp4/Camlp4Parsers/

Does someone familiar with OCaml know what to do? Do we need a search path
specification?

Maybe relevant: configure complains about
checking for ocamlfind... no
./configure: line 2670: no: command not found
configure: WARNING: Ignoring ocamlfind

Thanks for your help!

Andreas

PS: Or do I need to update to a special version of camlp4? Their version
    numbers are a bit confusing. Their latest releases (counting backwards)
    are 4.02+6, 4.02.1+3, 4.02+5, 4.02+4, 4.02,1+1, ....
    The part before the "+" looks like the OCaml version, the "+X" like the
    patch level of camlp4. But there is no version 4.02.3*.

Updating to 4.02+6, which is also the version available in Nix, solves my
problem. So please disregard my previous messages.
