[SRILM User List] Problem on Installing SRILM

[Andreas Stolcke]

You didn't set the SRILM variable correctly.
Either edit the top-level Makefile or invoke make with 

	make SRILM=/absolute/path/to/srilm  World 

Do not change PACKAGE_DIR, change the SRILM variable instead.
Do not use DOS-style path names (F:\...).  Use cygwin paths, like /home/username/srilm.
