Svm light installation problems
Hi, I am learning to use SVM light (Linux - Ubuntu) and having some problems to the installation methods describe in http://svmlight.joachims.org/. The steps in the installation guide was followed and executed. However, for the last 2 steps involving pr_loqo, I couldnt "make" them. The following is the error I received from the system when I tried use "make". loner@Lone-Ranger:~/svm_light1/pr_loqo$ make svm_learn_loqo make: *** No rule to make target `svm_learn_loqo'. Stop. In order to run the program, all one have to do is to type, "svm_learn" or "svm_classify" but what I had was the following errors. loner@Lone-Ranger:~/svm_light1$ svm_learn bash: svm_learn: command not found loner@Lone-Ranger:~/svm_light1$ svm_classify bash: svm_classify: command not found The FAQ didnt even address these problems at all. Please enlighten me if you know how to install the application properly and get it running smoothly. Thanks! Shoker

Re: Svm light installation problems

Thanks for writing that up. The next version of the module should have much better installation instructions, a la what I've provided for Lingua::BrillTagger and Lingua::CollinsParser.
