[MLton] Install problem

[Bin Li]

Dear Stephen Weeks:

Thanks for your help. I'm using the gcc 3.3.1. I can try the other version.
I compiled the src in redhat linux 9 too, it works well.

By the way, do you have any suggestion for the debugging? I'm not familiar with ML language. Can I set breakpoints in my program or can I see the values of variant in the running time?

Thanks,
Bin Li
