you shouldn't need to run an older moses to get it working. I always use 
mgiza to run the Europarl experiments which is available for download as 
part of the Moses release
http://www.statmt.org/moses/RELEASE-1.0/models/
If you have time, it would help us and yourself if you debug your setup 
to see why it's not working.

yes, -external-bin-dir is mandatory.

A while ago, there were problems because the mgiza program has a number 
of different names - mgiza or mgizapp. However, that is fixed now - it 
should always be called mgiza
