Hi Santosh,
Firstly I’d recommend cloning opam from the OCamlPro repository, rather than xen-org’s fork (it’s several months out of date), and secondly building a tagged release of opam rather than the master branch. Try:
git clone git://github.com/OCamlPro/opam
cd opam
git checkout latest
./configure && make && sudo make install
Then you can initialise opam with the default (OCamlPro) repository, and add xen-org’s repository:
opam init
eval `opam config env`
opam remote add xen-org git://github.com/xen-org/opam-repo-dev
Hope this helps,
John

I am trying to compile xen-api – specifically rrdump.ml
ocamlc version:
The Objective Caml compiler, version 3.12.1
Standard library directory: /usr/lib/ocaml
git clone git://github.com/xen-org/opam
cd opam; ./configure && make && sudo make install
This succeeded.
