link-grammar: Error: Regex name HMS-TIME not found in dictionary!

[Erling Wegger Linde]

Hi,

I'm trying to install and use link-grammar on Ubuntu 11..

This is what I get:

link-grammar: Error: Regex name HMS-TIME not found in dictionary!
link-grammar: Error: Regex name DECADE-TIME not found in dictionary!
link-grammar: Error: Regex name DAY-ORDINALS not found in dictionary!
link-grammar: Error: Regex name ORDINALS not found in dictionary!
link-grammar: Error: Regex name NUMBERS not found in dictionary!
link-grammar: Error: Regex name NUMBERS not found in dictionary!
link-grammar: Error: Regex name FRACTION not found in dictionary!

It is a completely fresh install of Ubuntu and my locale settings are
as follows:

LANG=en_US.UTF8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF8"
LC_ALL=

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

How did you configure & install?

These are in the file en/4.0.regex which should have been installed in the
same place as 4.0.dict, 4.0.affix etc.

I am guessing that you are using a newer version of the link-grammar binary,
but also have an older version installed, probably from Ubuntu, and the
newer binary is looking in the location where the older data files are stored.

The solution is to remove the older version (and its data files) (and then,
probably to reinstall the new version, just in case).

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I installed it from source http://www.abisource.com/downloads/link-grammar/4.7.4/link-grammar-4.7.4.tar.gz

(./configure, make & make install).

I've also tried to install it via apt-get, but then I am unable to install the Linkparser ruby gem (http://deveiate.org/projects/Ruby-LinkParser). Because it doesn't set up pkg-config properly it seems.

I've tried quite a few combinations of different versions, removing and reinstalling. I've tried with different versions of Ubuntu (10 and 11). It works fine on my Mac, but I struggle to get it working on Ubuntu.

Any more ideas on how to debug?

Thanks,

Erling

Some more information:

link-grammar: Info: Dictionary found at /usr/local/share/link-grammar/en/4.0.dict

I then manually to point to the latest dictionary data: /usr/local/share/link-grammar -> /home/ubuntu/link-grammar-4.7.4/data/

Still get the same errors..

I finally solved it. It was Apache that was not using the system / default locale. It all makes sense now :)

Glad to hear that :-) Now, I can't imagine what apache has got to do
with it ...

I was running my application behind/with Apache/Passenger. When I realised I could test link-grammar from the command line and it was all fine it was easy to find the problem.. :)

Well, this begs the question: what web app uses link-grammar?

Hehe, it's just a pet project. I'll send you a link if it goes live and if I can get it to work properly :)
