Could someone please help me get this up and running on OSX.

Thanks.

Hi:

The issue you are seeing is that you did not extract the jsapi.jar file:

http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/sphinx4/doc/jsapi_setup.html

BTW, I do nearly all my development on my Mac PowerBook G4 (OS X 10.3.5). You really do not need to copy the jar files to your system directories (e.g., Library/Java/Extensions). Instead, you can keep them in a local directory and rely on the Java classpath to find things. To reduce the complexity of needing to set up a long command line specifying where to find things, we added a classpath reference inside the jar files.

Hope this helps,

Will

Ahhh--

I had been forgetting the chmod command, thanks. Also I moved to local dir. Thanks.
