Make Test Fails, ImportError: No module named 'base'

[sairajab]

Hi, I have been trying this repo from almost a week. I was facing make issues before which resolved by using NO_ICONV=1. I removed init.py from srilim-python/srilm directory becuse it was confusing cython. However, my last two tests fail. Can anybody help ?
