make fails

[lucasrodes]

Hi,
I am using an iMac with El Capitan and the compilation seems to go wrong.
I have carefully followed your tutorial. I added the line HAVE_LIBLBFGS=1 in the file $SRILM/common/Makefile.machine.macosx. However it is not working at all. Please let me know if there's anything missing in my description. Thanks in advance.

The log of the error is shown below:

Can you try rebuild your SRILM with option NO_ICONV=1? For example,

cd srilm
make cleanest
make NO_ICONV=1 World

You could also add NO_ICONV=1 to $SRILM/common/Makefile.machine.macosx as you did with HAVE_LIBLBFGS=1.
After that, rebuild srilm-python and see if it works.

[kaierlong]

when I set NO_ICONV=1 and rebuild, I get the same error as above. any help?

[nuance1979]

@kaierlong after you rebuilt srilm, did you also reinstall srilm-python to pick up the new srilm library?

@nuance1979

1. frist I make cleanest the srilm and make clean the srilm-python
2. then I add 'NO_ICONV=1' to the file 'common/Makefile.machine.macosx' and rebuild the srilm with make NO_ICONV=1 World
3. and I rebuild the srilm-python
4. I try to use the package python3 , import srilm, it's all right.
   but when i import srilm.utils, here goes the error:
   Traceback (most recent call last):

honestly, there has no errors in my ubuntu-server.
I'm unfamiliar with mac. But I think the error not coming from the srilm-python.

Hi, it's go to wrong when I try to install srilm -python.Can you help me ?
$ patch $SRILM/lm/src/MEModel.cc < srilm/MEModel.cc.patch
patch: **** Can't create temporary file /lm/src/MEModel.cc.ojCWGXH : No such file or directory
cd $SRILM
$ ls
bin boot data dev etc home lib lib64 media mnt opt proc root run sbin srv sys tmp usr var
this is not exist "lm".
What can I do？

Hi @nuance1979
I have installed srilm with HAVE_LIBLBFGS = 1 set. I'm using a Cygwin terminal in a Windows system.

When I try to install srilm-python, I get the below error:
