Yeah, I got the sources but it won't compile without a binary already in place. I do not know how I should proceede and SML-NJ is a very big system compared to Moscow ML. I wanted to start with a small and easy package - I will start working on SML-NJ soon. We use it at university, too :) > | Package: mosml > | Architecture: i386 > > Are you sure that it won't work on other platforms? If not, you should > use any. A look into the configure-Script (no autoconf, too bad) shows up that it will deny to build on a real 64-bit-architecture - everything else should work thought. But I would like to be able to do some tests before releasing a non-i386-binary. Would it be possible to get an account on some m68k/alpha/...-machines? I consider buying an M68K (driven by nostalgy, and I still have a bunch of programs for Atari-compatible m68k) but I do not have the money yet. After all I am only a poor student... cu Torsten
