Re: [Moses-support] cannot find -loolm

First check in /home/sripirakas/SMT/tools/srilm/lib/i686 to see if the
library oolm is compiled successfully.

If your machine’s architecture is x86-64, SRILM actually compiles its
library for x86 instead. You need to explicitly tell SRILM to target x86-64
– I usually just edit the srilm/sbin/machine-type script and change

else if (`uname -m` == x86_64) then
#set MACHINE_TYPE = i686-m64
set MACHINE_TYPE = i686

to

else if (`uname -m` == x86_64) then
set MACHINE_TYPE = i686-m64
#set MACHINE_TYPE = i686

And then do a clean build.

[Moses-support] SRILM installation problem

Hi All,

I had a problem to install Moses and posted it here but no response is coming out yet. Can any one help me where to post this. I appreciate you guys for any help.

Mulu G.

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,

Mulu G.

[Moses-support] Binarized SRILM

Hi,
just a quick question, can Moses use a binary version of the srilm lm? I have built it with the option -write-binary-lm

Thanks

[Moses-support] Building POS language model with SRILM
Hi,
The Moses manual recommends using the following switches when building a language model with SRILM:
　　-interpolate -kndiscount
I assume this recommendation applies specifically to surface-string language models. For a part-of-speech language model, KN-discounting is inappropriate because it is based on counts-of-counts, and the counts-of-counts for POSes are odd in that there are very few POSes that occur only once or twice in a given corpus.
Are there particular switches that are recommended for building a POS
language model with SRILM?
Regards,
Ben Gottesman
