[Kaldi-users] Installing on Ubuntu 12.04 - openfst issues

[Mailing l. u. f. U. C. a. U. <kal...@li...>]

Having difficulty getting openfst with Kaldi installed. See right after 
the **************** lines.

ubuntu 12.04, gcc 4.6.3

sph2pipe - Use instructions in tools/INSTALL
dot - apt-get install graphviz
irstlm - Use instructions in tools/INSTALL
ATLAS - apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
     cp /usr/include/atlas/clapack.h /usr/include/

sclite - Use instructions in tools/INSTALL except do
     tar -xovjf sctk-2.4.0-20091110-0958.tar.bz2
     cd sctk-2.4.0 ...

     Make the following change noted in this post.

     Replace Filter::Filter with ::Filter
     There are also two instances in recording.cpp

     asclite/core/recording.h
     asclite/core/recording.cpp

openfst
     - Using the tools/INSTALL instructions obtains:
****************
        
  kaldi-1/tools/openfst-1.2.7/src/script/./../include/fst/generic-register.h:77: undefined reference to `dlopen'
        
  kaldi-1/tools/openfst-1.2.7/src/script/./../include/fst/generic-register.h:79: undefined reference to `dlerror'

         dlopen and dlerror are prototyped in /usr/include/dlfcn.h that 
configure finds.

     - Install openfst-1.3.2.tar.gz from 
http://www.openfst.org/twiki/bin/view/FST/FstDownload. 'make install' 
did not copy the bin files to /usr/local/bin. As root:
         cd openfst-1.3.2/bin
         cp fst* /usr/local/bin/

         change the symlink in kaldi-1/tools to point to the new 
openfst-1.3.2 folder.
             cd kaldi-1/tools
             rm openfst
             ln -s myPath/openfst-1.3.2 openfst

configure kaldi
     cd kaldi-1/src
     Change the configure file according to the following diff.
diff configure configure_original
28c28
< #ATLASROOT=../tools/ATLAS/
---
 > ATLASROOT=../tools/ATLAS/
30,31c30
< ATLASROOT=/usr

---
173,174d171
<     elif [ -f /usr/lib/atlas-base/libatlas.a ]; then
<         ATLASLIBDIR=/usr/lib/atlas-base

     ./configure
     Gives the following exception output:
****************
Checking for OpenFST library ...
Using OpenFST library in ../tools/openfst
../tools/minimize.h ../tools/openfst/include/fst/minimize.h differ: byte 
15, line 2
**Warning: ../tools/minimize.h and 
../tools/openfst/include/fst/minimize.h differ:
     patch not applied?  FST tools may not work.  See ../tools/INSTALL

I am thinking that making changes to use the latest openfst may be a 
good direction. Or it may be that the install is OK, except that the 
'path' seems ominous. Or it may be easier to get openfst-1.2.7 going in 
the short run.

I see that some of you are are using Kaldi on Ubuntu and may be able to 
provide a solution.
