Installation problem for linux

[ivy]

Hi,
I'm trying to install WordNet:QueryData on RedHat Linux but it fails
to make test. It goes like this:


[root@localhost WordNet-QueryData-1.45]# make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" test.pl
v2.0: 1..54
v2.1: 1..54
ok 1
Loading index files. This may take a while...
Not able to open :/usr/local/WordNet-2.0/dict/noun.exc or :/usr/local/
WordNet-2.0\dict\noun.exc: 没有那个文件或目录 at blib/lib/WordNet/QueryData.pm
line 318.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 2

by the way, I have installed WordNet2.1, and the version of
WordNet:QueryData is 1.45. I am appreciate someone could address this
problem.

You need to set WNHOME or WNSEARCHDIR:

If you're using a bash-like shell, you should do something like:

export WNHOME=/path/to/WordNet-2.1

Actually,I have set WNHOME and WNSEARCHDIR environment variables:


[root@localhost WordNet-QueryData-1.45]# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/
X11R6/bin:/usr
/local/WordNet-2.1/bin:/root/bin
[root@localhost WordNet-QueryData-1.45]# echo $WNHOME
:/usr/local/WordNet-2.1
[root@localhost WordNet-QueryData-1.45]# echo $WNSEARCHDIR
:/usr/local/WordNet-2.1/dict

[root@localhost WordNet-QueryData-1.45]# make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" test.pl
v2.0: 1..54
v2.1: 1..54
ok 1

Get rid of the leading colon.
