Hi, thanks for all your answers, I have already looked on the internet and
tried those solutions but cant seem to fix the problem. Now I ran the sample
english-french corpus through GIZA++ (not through the moses script that
calls Giza) and it seems to generate the dictionary and everything fine, now
I would like to know if there is a way to run moses from step 3, (after
generating the GIZA++ files) because my problem seemed to be on step 2...
Thanks again
