  Ocamlbuild knows of no rules that apply to a target named src/Gsl.mly. This can happen if you ask Ocamlbuild to build a target with the wrong extension (e.g. .opt instead of .native) or if the source files live in directories that have not been specified as include directories.

Back from vacation. I'm not sure what exactly the problem is, I've never seen this kind of error. Since the GSL bindings have been completely switched to jbuilder and topkg with version 1.20.0, you may want to try out the latest release anyway. It would probably not make much sense for me to invest time in maintaining older releases, but please feel free to submit a patch if you find a solution.

I guess this one isn't relevant anymore.

Yes sorry. I'm using GSL through OWL and OWL moved to gsl >= 1.20.0, for which opam has no 'build-doc' directive.
