[SRILM User List] Problem installing SRILM

[Gary Hess]

Hi -- I wonder if anyone can help with my installation problem. I decompressed the file "srilm-1.7.2.tar.gz" in the directory /home/gary/workspace/srilm. In the Makefile, I set "SRILM = /home/gary/workspace/srilm".


Machine info:

Now I switch to the TCH shell.


unknown:~/workspace/srilm> make World
make: execvp: /home/gary/workspace/srilm: Permission denied
make: *** /home/gary/workspace/srilm: Is a directory.  Stop.

There is a problem with the host name ("unknown"). Is that the real problem? I don't think so, but...

Otherwise, I am getting "make: execvp: /home/gary/workspace/srilm: Permission denied". It looks like a permission problem (which I googled quite a bit). I also tried it with "sudo" but get the same error.
Here is the directory listing:

unknown:~/workspace/srilm> ls -ld
