Re: !* CM error: don't know source class name /sml/lib/smlnj-lib.cm

What version of SML/NJ are you using?

In newer versions, as John Reppy already pointed out, you specify the  
SML/NJ library as $/smlnj-lib.cm and CM should then find it wherever  
it was installed.

If you absolutely must use an absolute Windows path, you can put it in  
double quotes:

    "C:\sml\lib\smlnj-lib.cm"

Notice that you would have to use native Windows-style path syntax all  
the way through.
