Happy New Year!

I am trying to run this devkit. When I run opam install devkit I get the following error referencing ocamlfind. Any idea on what might be causing this?
ENV:

Thank you.

this means you have opam switch in ~/.opam and some other unrelated ocaml files in /usr/local/lib/ocaml. It is advised to not have any ocaml bits installed outside of opam (unless you really want it and know what you are doing).

Thank you, @ygrek.

I got this installed with help from @Et7f3 on discord here.

Run opam switch create ocaml-base-compiler.4.07.1 then opam install devkit.
