IRSTLM install its library and its executable in subdirs of lib and
bin depending on your architecture machine.
Moreover, Moses looks for the IRSTLM library in a specific subdirs
depending on your architecture machine.
Unfortunately, the environment variable used by IRSTLM and Moses to
get the architecture type is not the same.
Hence, sometimes the env variables return different names causing
Moses not to find the IRSTLM library.
The "ln" command tries to solve this issue.
If I am not wrong, in your case IRSTLM library has been installed
under "lib/ i686-redhat-linux-gnu i686",
but Moses would search for it under "lib/i686"
So linking the latter to the former should make IRSTLM library
"visible" to Moses.
However, I do not think that the faliure in the IRSTLM installation
is due to this command.
Hope my explanation helps you.
otherwise please send me the log of the installation.
best regards,
Nicola Bertoldi
