[SRILM User List] Installation problem

[Alan Hogue]

Hello,

I have searched the archive for this list carefully and cannot find anything
that quite addresses the problem I'm having. I'd really appreciate any
advice.

I am trying to install on a machine running Ubuntu 11.04. Here are the
details:

uname -m:
i686

uname -r
2.6.38-10-generic-pae

gcc -v
gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4)

make -v
GNU Make 3.81

I have set the path in the top-level Makefile. Since I have gcc4 I am using
the following Makefile:

Makefile.machine.i686-gcc4

So in that file I have added this:

TCL_INCLUDE =-I/usr/include/tcl8.4
TCL_LIBRARY =-L/usr/lib/tcl8.4 -ltcl

I have checked all of this many times, so I am pretty sure I am following
all the directions in the various install and README files.

When I run make:

make MACHINE_TYPE=i686-gcc4 World

I get errors like the following:

ERROR:  File to be installed (../bin/i686-gcc4/maxalloc) does not exist.
ERROR:  File to be installed (../bin/i686-gcc4/maxalloc) is not a plain
file.
Usage:  decipher-install <mode> <file1> ... <fileN> <directory>
    mode:                 file permission mode, in octal
    file1 ... fileN:      files to be installed
    directory:            where the files should be installed

files =  ../bin/i686-gcc4/maxalloc
directory =  ../../bin/i686-gcc4
mode =  0555

make[2]: [../../bin/i686-gcc4/maxalloc] Error 1 (ignored)

The same basic message pops up for at lots of other files (maybe all of
them?), including: ngram, ngram-count, ngram-merge, ngram-class, disambig,
etc.

At this point I cannot tell what could be wrong. Can anyone suggest anything
I might try? I hope I've given enough information, if not I will be glad to
respond with more!

Sincerely,
Alan
