Installation on Fedora[edit]
I myself (as well as many others) have had problems with installing apertium on Fedora. This is mostly because of pkg-config. I can't really help much on how to get it to work other than point out things that are mentioned before:
- Making sure that you're installing it as root (!)
- Make sure that PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set correctly (you can check this with echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH). For some reason the default was blank for me so I had to set it manually with export. However even after doing this pkg-config still might not find the package because
it's being stupidof some unknown cause. - The usual way to install it (especially if you're getting the files from svn) is
- ./autogen.sh
- make
- make install
This may sound a bit obvious for some people but the ./autogen.sh instead of ./configure threw me off a bit.
I've finally managed to install apertium however and is now working great (as you can see with the bot Bendigeidfran on #apertium).
