Hello!

While installing liquidsoap i see following errors:

What is that mystic bytes module? Can't find anything related in debian repos :(

you need ocamlfind > 1.5 to have the mystic bytes module I think.

Has anyone managed to fix this issue? I am stuck at this error on Ubuntu 14.04. I tried the following and still have the same issue.

Installed Ocaml 4.02 Installed bytes module available at https://github.com/chambart/ocaml-bytes

That's weird.

Do you have logs of the install of ocaml-bytes?

Also, more generally, have you tried installing liduidsoap via opam? This is our preferred and supported method of installation now. See: http://liquidsoap.fm/download.html

Thanks toots. I was simply trying to achieve AAC+ support for my ubuntu server running airtime and got stuck on the error exactly as this thread. Looking at the instructions for installing liquidsoap via opam, it seems to be pointing to the repo of liquidsoap rather than liquidsoap-full. How would I go about adding the optional dependency of aacplus in opam?

Excellent idea, will do.

Okay, this should be fixed now. fdkaac package has been added to opam and as optional dep for liquidsoap. Closing this issue now, please re-open/fill a new one should you need it.
