fix your CFLAG (or whatever) environment variable or mkdir ~/.ocaml/ 
include:

configure:2005: gcc I/home/ewijaya/.ocaml/include -I/home/ 
ewijaya/.libstree/include -I/home/ewijaya/.gsl/include -I/home/ 
ewijaya/.swish/include -I/home/ewijaya/.lapack/include -I/home/ 
ewijaya/.berkeley_db/include -I/home/ewijaya/.libgd/include -I/home/ 
ewijaya/.graphviz/include  -L/home/ewijaya/.ocaml/lib -L/home/
