-    *Instructions coming*
+    The people in charge of OCaml (they're at the French research institute INRIA) have stopped making pre-built packages for Mac OS X. One option you have is to use their package for a slightly older version of OCaml, 4.01.1 from Sept. 2013. You can find that as a "Precompiled binary for Mac OS X" on [this page](http://ocaml.org/releases/4.01.0.html).

+    A second option is to install the OPAM package manager and use that to build and install the latest version of OCaml. *Instructions on how to do that will be posted shortly.*
