[emacs][Tuareg-mode] Symbol's function definition is void: dolist

Question

I tried to install Tuareg-mode for Ocaml as advice on the Inria website. Any time I try to launch it I have this error :

Symbol's function definition is void: dolist

With edebug-defun

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function dolist)

  edebug(error (void-function dolist))

"/nfs/ring/users/2013/phibonacci" is my home directory.

I followed this : http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TuaregMode (only replaced ~/.elisp/tuareg-mode by my own path ~/.emacs.d/tuareg-mode)

emacs 24.3.1 (2013) / tuareg 2.0.6 (2012)

Answer 1

IIRC dolist was added to standard Elisp sometimes around Emacs-21, so there's something really wrong with your setup.

Answer 2

dolist is from the common lisp Emacs library. If tuareg uses dolist without an (eval-when-compile ...(require 'cl)...) it's a bug. As a workaround you can do (require 'cl) in your .emacs. This is not recommended by the purist Emacs community, but it's fairly common.
