Hi
I have trained my system with only context independent models.

I copied the same content(wordfifty.ci.mdef from my training module) into both the files WORDFIFTY_8gau_13dCep_16k_40mel_130Hz_6800Hz.mdef
and WORDFIFTY_8gau_13dCep_16k_40mel_130Hz_6800Hz.ci.mdef

in the sphinx 4 decoder i get the following error:

How can I rectify this?
