 I'm just guessing, but the most likely cause is that you didn't have
 ml-yacc installed.
 
 If you saw this instead, I think you would have figured it out easily.

Well, no. I was given the impression that ml-yacc was internal to ml,
and that it should work out of the box, once I found the right path in
my system to the sources.cm of ml-yacc. However, I now realise that it
is not so.

I wouldn't have figured it out using that error message. I wouldn't have
figured it out anyway. Perhaps -- if recognisable -- output an error
message that points one in the direction of installing the software
asked for.

Anyhow, I installed the package and figured it out nicely enough. So I
assume that you're guessing right, and I missed the package.

kaol mentioned pathconfig, but that doesn't help in this case since
pathconfig is updated in ml-yacc.postinst. If there is anything to fix
here, it's the confusing error message.
