Hi,

First of all, the 0.9.9 version is an unstable and a very old version, that we do not support. The latest version is 1.2.0, it is stable and is much more complete. So my first suggestion is to switch to the latest stable version. If you have any code that works with the old version, but doesn't work with the stable version it is better to upgrade it. If this code lives somewhere in the BinaryAnalysisPlatform organization, then please make a pull request/feature request.

Now to the problem that you're facing. It is not in bap actually it is in one of the upstream libraries, notable in uuidm. It looks like that the uuidm version is incompatible either with your compiler version, or it misses dependencies. As a workaround, you may try to install a working version of uuidm manually with opam install uudim.XXX where XXX is some version that is installable.
