RE: Farsi Stemming Algorithm
One of the things that drives me nuts about the software is that it claims to run on Solaris/Sparc, Win/x86, MacOS, or BSD, but apparently no Linux (I have a Sparc box, so I'm lucky :-). The source code is downloadable, but it currently doesn't seem to compile on Linux/x86. It does have a callable C interface, as documented in the kimmolib.txt in this file [2]. In fact, I'm working on an AI program that calls PC-Kimmo to do morphology. Batch mode is used via the 'take' command, and using a .tak file. Here's an update. I tried to build the whole pc-parse package on Linux (RedHat 9.0) using gcc 3.2.2, and it compiled without a single problem. I also tried running PC-Kimmo, and it was working smoothly. I noticed that in the README, they cliam to have tested the build process on the following platfroms: 1. Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (kernel 2.2.17) / gcc 2.95.2, glibc 2.1.3-24 2. Red Hat Linux 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18) / gcc 2.96, glibc 2.2.5-34 3. Red Hat Linux 8.0 (kernel 2.4.18-14) / gcc 3.2-7, glibc 2.2.93-5 4. OpenBSD 3.1 / gcc 2.95.3 5. Mac OS X (10.2) / gcc 3.1 6. cygwin 1.3.10-1 (Windows XP Pro) / gcc 2.95.3-5 Maybe you're trying an older version? - Ehsan Akhgari Farda Technology (http://www.farda-tech.com/) List Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ WWW: http://www.beginthread.com/Ehsan ] ___ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
RE: Farsi Stemming Algorithm
(I'll just reply to your other post here) I guess I didn't know about a new pc-parse release. Where did you get the newest source code? That's terrific news for me. Well, the release I downloaded is approximately one year old, but here's the URL I downloaded it from: ftp://ftp.sil.org/software/unix/pc-parse-src-20030321.tgz To build it, I just did a typical ./configure; make; make install; - there was nothing more than that. What compiler version have you used to compile it? Let me know if you still have compilation problems. I might be able to help if I can reproduce them here. I'm very interested in any work you'd work on, including a PHP extension. Maybe SIL.org might be interested as well. Actually, what I'm working on is an English/Persian search engine which can be placed on any site with no need to download/install anything. It's nearly finished, I only have to translate the web UI into Persian, and also implement stemming for Persian in the engine. Originally I planned to implement a stemming algorithm myself, but I figured that I can't be considered an expert in Persian grammar/linguistics at all, so I prefer to use already working solutions, and your work seems to be the *best* choice. The PHP extension would be quite a thin wrapper, but anyway I'll definitely provide you with the source code when I'm finished. You'll be also welcome to a copy of the search engine's source code itself if you're interested. Give me a week and I'll email them to the email address in your signature, unless you tell me otherwise. Thanks a lot! I highly appreciate your great help. - Ehsan Akhgari Farda Technology (http://www.farda-tech.com/) List Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ WWW: http://www.beginthread.com/Ehsan ] ___ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
