Re: Setting custom prompt in utop with UTop.prompt

Hi John:

Since LTerm_text belongs to the lambda-term package, it seems that your
utop couldn't find LTerm_text, a little strange, since if you installed
utop via opam, lambda-term should be installed automatically as dependency,
can you show your whole ocamlinit content? Changing UTop.prompt definitly
works in my ocamlinit file.
