    Unhappy Fallen at the final hurdle (Moses installation)

    Hi.

    I was given the task of installing Moses on a SUSE system and was advised that it should take a couple of days at the most.

    So, I'm stupid !

    More than 3 weeks down the road and I've installed GNU GCC, GMP, MPFR, GNUMake, TCL, TK and SRILM to name a few of the dependent apps. As I only had Moses left to install I told my boss it would be ready by the end of the week. You guessed it, last week.

    I should say in my defence that I don't know Linux beyond what I've learned during the last 3 weeks, BUT I cannot seem to resolve this problem.

    When I try to build Moses I get the following error:

    ...
    In file included from InputFileStream.cpp:23:
    gzfilebuf.h:5:18: error: zlib.h: No such file or directory
    ...

    I have checked and the zlib-dev package is installed (32 bit & 64 bit packages have 'i' adjacent to them in the yast app) but the make can't find it.

    I'm suspect I'm missing something obvious but I just can't see it. Any suggestions would be gratfully received.

    Regards,
    Tim

    Your make file probably has not included the correct directory for the zlib.h header. Are you familiar with make and the gcc -I (dash-eye to specify header include directories) option?

    Hi.

    I managed to build it. It was a zlib thing as you say. I had not installed zlib-devel, only zlib.

    Now it's all built and installed without any errors. However, I have no idea where it is on the system or how to run it. It's completely invisible as is SRILM.

    I'll be glad when I can get back to the good old PC (sigh)

    Almost there now, but for another unfathomable (to me) problem...

    Everything is installed including all the support programs.

    When I try to run a simple test of the application I get the following error:
    /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by /src/trunk/moses-cmd/src/moses)

    Is this something to do with GCC as I have installed the latest version already, or is it something completely different? (I've also installed all the upgrades I can find via Yast2)

    Any suggestions would be welcome...

    TIA Tim

    It looks like there is a dependency on gcc version 3.4 and you probably have a version 4.x installed. Fortunately, Linux allows multiple versions of the gnu compiler suite to be installed so that you can get these resolved. I have gcc 3.4.6, 4.1.2, and 4.4.0 installed on my system for just such reasons. Go to your package manager and search for gcc34 or gcc-34 and install that. It will also install any required libraries.

    If you are running Suse Linux then I think that yes, yast is the package manager. I've only evaluated Suse on systems of mine a couple of times so I'm not overly familiar with it so that's about as far as I can get you.
