[SRILM User List] Installing SRILM 1.7.0 on ubuntu 12.04

[Ramy Baly]

Hello,

My name is Ramy, I'm a PhD student at the American University of  
Beirut, working on Arabic Sentiment analysis.

I tried to install the SRILM (both versions 1.6.0 and 1.7.0) on Ubuntu 12.04.

I installed all prerequisite packages mentioned in the website (in  
addition to tcsh), and it doesn't work...

I also tried to follow the following common guides I found in  
different forums:


1) Install tcsh if not already installed

2) Install all the TCL developer libraries: tcl8.4-dev, tcl-dev,  
tcl-lib, tclx8.4, tclx8.4-dev.  This step may not be necessary, let me  
know what works for you.

3) Uncomment the “SRILM =” line in the top level Makefile and replace  
the existing path with the absolute path of the SRILM top-level  
directory on your system (where the Makefile resides)

4) Start the tcsh shell

5) Type “make NO_TCL=X MACHINE_TYPE=i686-gcc4 World > & make.log.txt”  
to begin the build and capture stderr and stdout in a file

6) If you can run “./bin/i686-gcc4/ngram-count -help“, the build was  
probably a success



It doesn't work for both versions... and I'm getting fatal errors  
(cannot find .h files, exiting directory, .... make: *** [World] Error  
2)

Can you please help me with this problem?

I appreciate your help
