problems about the error of RunAll.pl

[Terry]

Hi, I'm using SphinxTrain to train a acoustic model. The environment is Ubuntu
11.10.
But I got this error:
terry@terry-VirtualBox:~/acoustic/alphas$ ./scripts_pl/RunAll.pl
MODULE: 00 verify training files
O.S. is case sensitive ("A" != "a").
Phones will be treated as case sensitive.
Phase 1: DICT - Checking to see if the dict and filler dict agrees with the
phonelist file.

Phase 2: DICT - Checking to make sure there are not duplicate entries in the

Phase 3: CTL - Check general format; utterance length (must be positive);

Phase 4: CTL - Checking number of lines in the transcript should match lines

This is a small amount of data, no comment at this time

I went to logdir and open alphas.1.1-1.bw.log. I saw this:

It seems that there's no /alphas.ci_semi_flatinitial/means in
model_parameters/ folder. I also check the model_parameters/. It really
doesn't have this thing.
Why don't I have that? How can I solve this problem?

thank you!!!

Why don't I have that?

From http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/tutorialam

After you installed the software you may need to update the system
configuration so the system will be able to find the dynamic libraries. For
example

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

[Terry]

so you mean:

I have to setup these variables first. then do:

../SphinxTrain/scripts_pl/setup_SphinxTrain.pl -task an4
../pocketsphinx/scripts/setup_sphinx.pl -task an4

after that, I should have the correct model_parameters/ folder which contains
alphas.ci_semi_flatinitial/means. Is that right?

thank you!

[Terry]

SORRY, I was wrong.

I DO have alphas.ci_semi_flatinitial in model_parameters/ folder. But I don't
have "means" in alphas.ci_semi_flatinitial/ folder.

how can I get it? Is "means" made by the script?

by the way, I also have right environment variables. which are:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

thank you!

File 'means' is created by the tool bin/init_gau. It's log is located in the
file logdir/20.ci_hmm/an4.initmean_cihmm.log You can check that file for
details. You always need to check logs for details when you have issues. Not
just the last log but previous logs too.

I also have right environment variables

Most likely you don't

[Terry]

I have bin/init_gau, but I don't have that log file... I cannot read the
information in this log file.
why is that? thank you!

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

I have bin/init_gau, but I don't have that log file... I cannot read the
information in this log file.

It means that you can't run this tool. Try to run it from a command line
without any arguments. See what happens.
