There are two problems, one of which Jennie already mentioned.

You need to start the service in Mserver, and in mserver5, you need to
tell MapiClient that you want to use another language.

So:
        Mserver --dbinit 'module(mapi); mil_start();'
with
        MapiClient

and
        mserver5
with
        MapiClient -lmal

(In the first case, you can also use "MapiClient -lmil" since MIL is the
default language.)
