Noobie install problem

[StevenS]

Hello,

I am trying to install CMU Sphinx and have been following the tutorial found
here:

http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinx/tutorial.html#traintarball

Everything seems to have worked fine so far, I am installing it on Ubuntu
Server Edition 10.04.1 LTS.

But the following command isn't working for me when I try to compile SPHINX-3

configure --prefix=pwd/build --with-sphinxbase=pwd/../sphinxbase

When I run this command, the terminal outputs the following:

:./configure: WARNING: Unrecognised options: --with-
configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for --prefix: pwd/build

I would be most grateful if anyone could tell me where I am going wrong as I
would very much like to use CMU Spinx for my university project and being new
to this program, and Linux in general, I'm a little stuck with this part.

Many thanks,

Steve

So far I found that I needed to install headers for my version of the kernel,
so I ran the following command:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

which seems to have successfully installed them, but I still receive the error
mentioned in my first post.

I am trying to install CMU Sphinx and have been following the tutorial found

It's not recommended to use this outdated tutorial. Recent documentation can
be found on the wiki

So far I found that I needed to install headers for my version of the
kernel, so I ran the following command:

That's definitely unrelated

configure

The command must be ./configure not configure, you must be careful about that

./configure: WARNING: Unrecognised options: --with-

Are you sure you reproduced the command correctly? It mostly means you
inserted space somewhere or used wrong quotes
