Could you help me

[Antonio Costa Pereira]

Dear Sir

I tried to install MLton in a machine running Linux Slackware 7.0.
To start with, I tried to install the binaries using the rpm tool.
The rpm tool complains of dependence failure. However, the
system has every library and tool required by the rpm tool.
For instance, it complains of python missing. However, the system
does have python. It also complains of missing libc.so.6, and
libm.so.6, etc. All these libraries are present in the system.

Since I failed in installing the binaries, I opened the source and tried
to
recompile it. The following are the listing of my directory:

lampiao:/usr/src/mlton-20000712# ls
basis-library/  bin/  doc/  include/  lib/  man/  src/

To recompile the system:

lampiao:/usr/src/mlton-20000712/src# make
Compiling mlton.c (takes a while)

        -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2     \
        -c mlton.c

When I use the binary, I receive following message:

lampiao:/usr/doc/mlton-20000712/examples# mlton hello-world.sml
mmap failed
lampiao:/usr/doc/mlton-20000712/examples#
