[SRILM User List] need help with SRILM installation

[NEETI SONTH]

Hi,
I am Neeti. I am new to this SRILM toolkit and I am having problems
installing it. PLease help me.
uname -a:
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-53.el5 #1 SMP Wed Oct 10 16:34:02
EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
gcc -v:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.6/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix

Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-8)

The following difficulties are encountered by me.

1)Are we supposed to install srilm toolkit and start running commands
in csh/tcsh and not in bash? Will we get some error if we do the
installation in bash?
I have downloaded the entire srilm toolkit along with the free third
party software in the path: /home/nsonth/srilm. So i would be
- Show quoted text -
5)when I ran '/sbin/machine-type',then I got the return script as 'i686'.
But when I ran ' $SRILM/sbin/machine-type', as seen from your FAQ, I
got the following error---
SRILM: Undefined variable.

6)I have csh/tcsh installed on my computer. Path is /sbin/tcsh or
/sbin/csh. But when I run 'make', I get the following error--
make: /sbin/machine-type: Command not found
cat: RELEASE: No such file or directory
Makefile:13: /common/Makefile.common.variables: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/common/Makefile.common.variables'.  Stop.

Earnestly waiting for your reply.

Thanking you
regards,
Neeti
