[Kaldi-users] Kaldi install fails in /src - openfst

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

Using Opensuse 12.3 64 bit, kernel 3.9.

1. I issued svn co svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/kaldi/code/trunk kaldi-trunk
2. download appeared to finish correctly
3. examined INSTALL, went into dir /tools and did make, finished without 
error as far as I can tell
4. then ../src and ./configure, which stops at

$ ./configure
Configuring ...
Checking OpenFST library in /home/colin/kaldi-trunk/tools/openfst ...
Checking OpenFst library was patched.
Doing OS specific configurations ...
***configure failed: Static OpenFST library not found:  See 
../tools/INSTALL ***

5. Checked tools install, it just tells me to do make. I did a search on 
"openfst*" to find a library or executable on the system, but outside 
the download dirs nothing available.
6. attempted to compile as root (bad, but I thought maybe compile needed 
to be able to write somewhere) no difference.
7. attempted to define --fst-root but no change to error.

Any suggestions?
