Is there some (ocaml) code somewhere that does exactly this ?

I get this when I try to compile tooltip.ml from 
the lablgtk subversion repository:

$ ocamlc -c -I ../src/ tooltip.ml
File "tooltip.ml", line 66, characters 1-12:
This expression has type GObj.misc_ops
It has no method set_tooltip_text

Do I also need a special version of lablgtk ?
