"Access is denied." errors when running sphinxtrain

[olumide]

I've narrowed the problem down to the line

push @deps, LaunchScript("bw.$iter.$i", ['baum_welch.pl', $iter, $i, $n_parts, $n_gau]);

in the script

/usr/local/lib/sphinxtrain/scripts/20.ci_hmm/slave_convg.pl

[olumide]

Now I've found the really found the source of the error messages. Its the section of code

until (-f $mixwfn) {
    print "Waiting for $mixwfn\n";
    sleep 1;
}

in baum_welch.pl (but I'm sure you know that). For some reason the file mixture_weights isn't being written.

Now I've found the really found the source of the error messages.

The real source is missing proper installation as usual. Please make sure you compiled everything correctly or just use precompiled binaries.

[olumide]

How odd. SphinxBase, PocketSphinx and SphinxTrain have all been compiled and installed.

Where in the training script, if I may ask, is mixture_weights supposed to be created and by what program? That may give a clue as to which which binary (if any) is missing.

That occured on your system before, so nothing odd

init_mixw

Probably sphinxbase.dll is missing or the binary itself

[olumide]

sphinxbase.dll and pocketsphinx.dll are both in
C:\cygwin\usr\local\lib\python2.7\site-packages

Also, init_mixw appears to be called after the line that prints the error messages in slave_config.pl . Is init_mixw called else where before slave_config.pl?

This is not a right location for the dll for sure, it's a python module

Return to message 1 of this thread and read our discussion again.

Sorry, I'm not sure what slave_config.pl are you talking about. There is no such thing in Sphinxtrain.

[olumide]

slave_convg.pl I meant. I've stepped through the code some more and found that because $ST::CFG_HMM_TYPE = ".cont", the if-statement that nests RunTool('init_mixw'... ) is not executed.

For continuous models mixture weights are created by the tool mk_flat

[olumide]

I found the problem! The dll cyglapack-0.dll, required by mk_flat.exe, was not on my path.

Thanks ever so much for your patience. I am very grateful.

in my case this command does nothing ,but only prints a message "Running the training" and nothing happens.
