Some SRILM test errors

[Brianna Laugher]

Hello,

After a day of experimenting I finally managed to get SRILM to compile.
I thought I would share my settings to help others.

I tried in vain on a RedHat 9 machine with gcc 3.2.2. Eventually I gave
up and tried a different machine.

On CentOS 4 with machine type i686 and gcc 3.4.6 I made these changes:
in common/Makefile.machine.i686:
- fix CC and CXX paths
- remove -mtune=pentium3 from GCC_FLAGS
- add NO_TCL=X and blank the other TCL things

I have gawk 3.1.3.

When running the tests I had DIFFERS for these files:
nbest-rover-acoustic stdout
ngram-class stdout
ngram-count-lm-limit-vocab stdout & stderr

I read in the archives that ngram-class is "very fickle" so not to worry
about it... below is a diff between the last one's stdout.

I'm really just trying to have a play with Moses. It would be nice to
know if these tests are all unimportant and thus I can ignore their
failings. :)

thanks,
Brianna
