Errors which may be encountered during installation and their solutions.
Configure / autogen.sh errors
../ltmain.sh not found
configure.ac:115: required file `../ltmain.sh' not found
The clue here is the "..". Autotools is looking for an auxiliary file in the parent directory of this one. This will happen if you check out one project folder inside another one (e.g. check out the lttoolbox folder inside apertium-en-es, or similar).
Solution: make a new subdirectory in your home folder and check out again there (e.g. mkdir ~/src && cd ~/src && svn co …)
No package lttoolbox/apertium found
When running configure script for Apertium
You may encounter an error similar to the following, the particular packages in error may differ (i.e., the error list here was on Mandriva Linux 2009).
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for APERTIUM... configure: error: Package requirements (lttoolbox-3.0 >= 3.0.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.17 libpcre >= 6.4) were not met: No package 'lttoolbox-3.0' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables APERTIUM_CFLAGS and APERTIUM_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
This is because Apertium cannot find the location where the lttoolbox-3.0.pc
file was installed. If you have installed lttoolbox (which you should have done prior to attempting to install Apertium) in a non-standard prefix (or sometimes even /usr/local
) the configure script will not be able to find it.
First find the location of this file (it should be in $(PREFIX)/lib/pkgconfig
) and then run this command:
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
Replace /usr/local
with the appropriate prefix.
When running configure script for language pair data
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for APERTIUM... configure: error: Package requirements (apertium >= 3.0.0) were not met: No package 'apertium' found
Similar to when running configure script for Apertium installation, but now the apertium.pc
is not being found. Adjust PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to the correct path location. First find the location of this file (it should be in $(PREFIX)/lib/pkgconfig) and then run this command:
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
(Replace /usr/local if you set a --prefix when installing apertium.)
Workaround when language pairs need updated configure.ac's
Some language pairs say that they "require" an older version of apertium. The best solution is to fix their configure.ac's so they accept the new version, but here's a quick workaround:
cd /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ sudo cp lttoolbox-3.1.pc lttoolbox-3.0.pc sudo cp apertium-3.1.pc apertium-3.0.pc
(or 3.2 or 3.3. or whatever)
AP_CHECK_LING not found when running configure or autogen.sh
./configure: line 3124: syntax error near unexpected token `1,' ./configure: line 3124: `AP_CHECK_LING(1, apertium-khk)'
The m4 macro AP_CHECK_LING was not found. It is in the file apertium.m4, installed by apertium into $prefix/share/aclocal. If it's not there, install the lastest version of apertium first.
For the configure script to find apertium.m4, the ACLOCAL_PATH variable should be set to $prefix/share/aclocal (where $prefix is typically /usr/local). If you've set PKG_CONFIG_PATH as mentioned in the above sections, the autogen.sh script should set ACLOCAL_PATH based off that. If it doesn't, you can do
$ ACLOCAL_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig $ export ACLOCAL_PATH
(Replace /usr/local if you set a --prefix when installing apertium.)
You don't have cg-proc / cg-comp installed
Many apertium pairs now require the Constraint Grammar package to help with disambiguation. For install instructions go here
PCRE
checking for pcreposix.h... no configure: error: *** unable to locate pcreposix.h include file ***
You don't have the PCRE (Posix-compatible regular expressions) library header files installed, if you're in Debian or Ubuntu, do:
# apt-get install libpcre3-dev
on Fedora, do:
# yum install pcre-devel
Compilation errors
Command not found
When running make for language pair data
you may encounter an error like the following when attempting to compile the language pair data (example: en-fr):
$ make make all-am make[1]: Entering directory `/<path>/apertium-en-fr' apertium-validate-dictionary apertium-en-fr.en.dixtmp1 make[1]: apertium-validate-dictionary: Command not found make[1]: *** [en-fr.automorf.bin] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/<path>/apertium-en-fr' make: *** [all] Error 2
This occurs because the Apertium application(s) are not on your path. Add it to your path (e.g., for BASH shell use export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
on command line or similar in your user .bash_profile file.
lt-comp: error while loading shared libraries: liblttoolbox3-3.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This is because lt-comp cannot find where your liblttoolbox libs are installed. You may need to do one of several things:
- If you have installed it to some $prefix, do:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$prefix/lib
- If you have installed it in
/usr/local
- Check to see if
/usr/local/lib
is in/etc/ld.so.conf
, if it is, runldconfig
- If it isn't, either add
/usr/local/lib
to/etc/ld.so.conf
and re-runldconfig
, or do step 1.
- Check to see if
Error in pcre_compile
- Error
apertium-preprocess-transfer apertium-es-gl.es-gl.t1x es-gl.t1x.bin Error: pcre_compile make[1]: *** [es-gl.t1x.bin] Error 1
- Reason
Probably you have an old version of PCRE installed, or a version without unicode support.
- Solution
If you have compiled PCRE from source, remember that you need to pass the option --enable-utf8
to the configure
script. If you have only the binary package of your distribution installed, check the version, if it is before 7.4 then try to install an updated version.
ldconfig fails
If you're on a mac, you don't have to run ldconfig.
Runtime errors
Missing pair
$ echo "Eso es un test" | apertium es-ca Error: Mode es-ca does not exist. Try one of: README
Looks like you don't have any language pairs installed, did you run make install
in the language pair directory?
If you did, email the output of
$ cat /usr/local/bin/apertium | grep -e APERTIUM -e DEFAULT
...obviously replace /usr/local/bin/apertium with the location of the $(prefix)/bin/apertium
and the steps you took to compile apertium to the apertium-stuff mailing list.
