Re: [Kaldi-developers] Problems in installing Kaldi

[Ji He <jv...@uw...>]

Thanks for your reply. We have BLAS, CBLAS and CLAPACK installed by root
admin. Let me check if these packages will be enough to build it, and how
to set the dependency. One easy solution would be compile Kaldi on my
laptop, but I prefer lab's machine so that other people can refer to it
later.

I looked at the Kaldi tutorial here:
http://kaldi.sourceforge.net/tutorial_setup.html
and instead of checking out version 1 code I checked out the trunk, i.e.
svn co https://kaldi.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kaldi/trunk kaldi-trunk

Please let me know if there is a later version. Thanks.
