Re: Installing lablgtk failed; cannot find camlp4orf.

This seems to be an OPAM packaging bug that should be reported at
  https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/issues

Could you tell which version of OCaml you have and which switch you
are using? From the log it looks like this is 4.01 using the system
switch (presumably you installed OCaml from your system distribution,
and the packaged version is 4.01), but that might also be a bug. Have
you tried using a more recent version (opam switch install 4.02.3)?
