Installation guides

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

liblbfgs

• Install liblbfgs dev files

• Check your distribution (this one is Ubuntu 14.04)

     $apt-cache search liblbfgs
     [...]
     Filename: pool/universe/libl/liblbfgs/liblbfgs0_1.10-5_amd64.deb
     [...]
  

• Install

     $sudo apt-get install liblbfgs-dev
  

Build crfsuite-0.12

$cd feng-hirst-rst-parser-acl-2014-master/tools/crfsuite/crfsuite-0.12/
$chmod +x configure
$./configure

• you need to have gcc installed, e.g. sudo apt-get install build-essential

     $make
     $sudo make install
  

• make links to the shared libraries (otherwise crfsuite will fail with crfsuite: error while loading shared libraries: libcrfsuite-0.12.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

     $sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libcrfsuite-0.12.so /usr/lib/libcrfsuite-0.12.so
     $sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libcqdb-0.12.so /usr/lib/libcqdb-0.12.so
     $sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/crfsuite /usr/bin/crfsuite-stdin
  

• check if the installation works:

    $crfsuite-stdin tag -pi -m \ 
    feng-hirst-rst-parser-acl-2014-master/model/tree_build_set_CRF/label/intra.crfsuite \ 
    feng-hirst-rst-parser-acl-2014-master/tools/crfsuite/test.txt
