INRIA does not support 64 bit native code on SPARC because they do not have any such systems. I have a patch for version 3.09.1: http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/ocaml-3.09.1-sparc64.tar.gz Tk will not compile with this patch (this is a longstanding problem that I intend to fix, but I want to fix it right rather than accomodating the awful code generated for large inner module initializers). You may find 32 bit code to be adequate for your needs. My program that uses Int32 and Int64 runs significantly faster in 64 bit mode. You can also expect floating point to be faster. Ordinary integer code is likely to be slower because all the objects are bigger.
