My system is Manjaro. A lot of packages fail to install in switches other than the default one, for instance menhir or js_of_ocaml-ocamlbuild, with errors such as:

#=== ERROR while compiling js_of_ocaml-ocamlbuild.5.0 =========================#

As you can see, it looks like some files are looked for in the default opam switch. There is -I /home/frigory/.opam/default/lib/ocamlbuild in the compilation command. With menhir, I have -I /home/frigory/.opam/default/lib/menhirLib -I /home/frigory/.opam/default/lib/menhirSdk.

Where does this problem come from? I don’t get those errors on Windows: my opam switches work on Windows. But I’m getting this error on my 2 Manjaro systems (which are not in sync).

Somehow there seems to be a mixup between the environment of your default switch and your current switch (named ocaml-base-compiler.5.2.1).

Could you show the output of the env, opam env, ocamlc -config and which -a ocamlopt commands?

Indeed, the culprit is OCAMLPATH which is set in my .bashrc… I didn’t notice it! And I don’t remember why I set this variable. If I set it to the right value, things work.

Why isn’t this variable set by opam env?

OK, so this is about setting automatically OCAMLPATH by opam env to avoid such messes. Do you think it would be a good idea?
