Hi All,

I was trying to install srilm on Debian linux 5 lenny, MACHINE_TYPE= i686, with gcc version v 4.3.2. I have changed the Makefile according the manuals and without success. So when I try to enter #make World, it produces the following message

/bin/sh: /root/srilm: is a directory
mkdir include lib bin
mkdir: cannot create directory `include’: File exists
mkdir: cannot create directory `lib’: File exists
mkdir: cannot create directory `bin’: File exists
make: [dirs] Error 1 (ignored)
make init
/bin/sh: /root/srilm: is a directory
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/srilm’
for subdir in misc dstruct lm flm lattice utils; do
(cd $subdir/src; make SRILM=/root/srilm [SRILM] MACHINE_TYPE=
OPTION= MAKE_PIC= init) || exit 1;
done
make[2]: Entering directory `/root/srilm/misc/src’
/root/srilm/common/Makefile.common.variables:96:
/root/srilm/common/Makefile.machine.: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/root/srilm/common/Makefile.machine.’.
Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/srilm/misc/src’
make[1]: *** [init] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/srilm’
make: *** [World] Error 2

Could you please help me in sorting out the problem and how to fix it.

Thank you all,

Re:[Moses-support] SRILM installation problem

hi mulu

it seems you have an srilm compilation problem rather than a moses problem. from my experience, srilm is easy to compile but you have to read & follow the instruction very carefully. If you dont succeed, I suggest you download SRILM and start again.

you will know when it succeeds when you have these files are created:
liboolm.a
libdstruct.a
libflm.a
liblattice.a
libmisc.a
