I can workaround that by setting -unsafe-string via the `OCAMLPARAM environment variable:

export OCAMLPARAM="safe-string=0,_"

Looks like this is a typical issue with 4.06.0 since the default has switched from unsafe-string to safe-string.

Suggested patch to spec file attached to the bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1409487 The patch implements above workaround but a fix to the laby code would be better.

This should be fixed now. Many years have passed, but I'll try to make a new release soon (mainly to address the lablgtk2/sourceview2 obsolescence).
