I recommend newer version (110.46) if you can use 2002 basis library.

I think SML/NJ only works in 32 bit mode. Can 64 bit Linux system compile 
and run 32 bit programs? In that case you can change what compiler 
and compiler flags are used. To do that you can unpack runtime system 
manually and change definitions in mk.x86-linux.

The runtime system must go to src directory, for example:
gunzip < config.tgz | tar xvf -
mkdir src
cd src
gunzip < ../runtime.tgz | tar xvf -
cd ..
[edit files in runtime system]
./install.sh

Hope this helps.
