[MLton] problems building mlton

[Lukasz S Ziarek]

This is the source tarball from the webpage, the "latest public release",
I am going to try the cvs version. I didnt have any problems installing
the src tarball on my laptop, though this also begs the question of
whether or not I should use the tar src or the cvs one?
