Hmmm... we're actually releasing an all-Java version of the SRL.  Problem is it has a lot of dependencies, including the Charniak server, so ultimately probably no easier than the current version.  On the plus side, you will get a programmatic interface to a range of NLP tools (POS, chunker, NER, Charniak, SRL, and possibly Wikifier).

Regards,

Mark

Thank you for your reply, Mark!

Yes, I experimented with 32-bit/64-bit related flags in the Makefile with no luck. 

Actually, I was trying to setup your SRL on MacOSX, but it's not working because of FEX. Anyway, I'll go back to ubuntu. But if anyone of you have tried to install SRL on MacOSX, any hints and advice would be appreciated. 

Thank you,

Varada

Hi, Varada.

Unfortunately FEX is not really used within the group at this point; noone I am aware of has any experience trying to compile/run it on MacOSX.

One key issue that we have had trouble with on other platforms is 64- vs. 32-bit architectures; this can affect lex/yacc/bison.  If you have not yet tried it, you can experiment with changing the relevant lines in the Makefile.

Mark

Hi, 

I was just wondering if anyone has tried to build FEX on MacOSX. It builds successfully when I add the following code in the Makefile, but I get segmentation fault when I try to run the built binary. 

ifneq (,$(findstring Darwin, $(OSTYPE)))

        YACC = bison -y -d

        DEFINED = -DGETOPT

        LINKFLAGS = -lc -liconv

endif

I am using g++ 4.2.1. I tried several combinations of compiler and link flags without any success. Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you,

Varada
