I am new to the mac system. I believe the mbp with mac
os 10.4.8 comes with everything installed. Hmmm, still
can't figure out why ocamlopt does not work.

No, it doesn't. You need to install it from the DVD that comes with the
MBP (or download it from Apple and install that way).

To install it, stick in DVD #1. One of the folders that you should see on
it is Xcode Tools. Open that then use the XcodeTools.mpkg to install the
developer tools. You should be good to go after that.

The version of Xcode which comes on the DVD is fairly ancient. For
example, MacPorts is known not to work with the Xcode that you likely
got with your Mac. The OP might be better off downloading the latest
Xcode from Apple's website (http://developer.apple.com/).
Unfortunately this requires that you first create an Apple Developer
Connection account, but this is at least free of charge -- it just
requires that you give them an email address.

???

The version that comes with the MBPs (well, the one I got a few months
back) is 2.4. They are currently on 2.4.1, with 3.0 in development for
Leopard.
