make: *** [update.cmx] Error 2

This was fixed by patching the file update.mli

---module NameMap : Map.S with type key = Name.t
+++module NameMap : MyMap.S with type key = Name.t

The next error I encountered:

pty.o: In function `c_openpty':
pty.c:(.text+0x6d): undefined reference to `openpty'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
File "caml_startup", line 1, characters 0-1:
Error: Error during linking
make: *** [unison] Error 2

I found a link to fix somethign regarding that on a debian mailing list.

here Bug#641102: unison

Which I fixed by editing the file. "MakeFile.OCaml" at line 367

---    $(CAMLC) -verbose $(CAMLFLAGS) -o $@ $(CFLAGS) $(CAMLLIBS) $(CLIBS) $^
+++    $(CAMLC) -verbose $(CAMLFLAGS) -o $@ $(CFLAGS) $(CAMLLIBS) $^ $(CLIBS)

Lastly I had an error with etags. Installed a related package, and everything built ok. Now it doesn't give a prompt to log onto ssh, so I have to use the text mode. Probably would work if I made a public key.

cheers
