Hi to all,

sorry I have a small question. When trying to install/compile SRILM 1.5.6
I all the time have problems compiling the lm files (I cannot compile
ngram ngram-count etc). In more detail, it says me when compiling "make
World":

ERROR:  File to be installed (../bin/i686/fngram-count) does not exist.
ERROR:  File to be installed (../bin/i686/fngram-count) 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

I found some older posting guessing it was the TCL library. But now I
tried both 1) letting them empty (TCL_INCLUDE and TCL_LIBRARY) and setting
NO_TCL=X, and 2) setting the include and library to

TCL_INCLUDE = -I/usr/include/tcl8.4
TCL_LIBRARY = -L/usr/lib/tcl8.4 -ltcl8.4

I'm running debian linux (i686). I also tried compiling the files in the
subdirectory itself, but then I get undefined reference problem.

Thanks in advance,
Barbara
