WSJ Recipe: "wsj_data_prep.sh: Spot check of command line arguments failed"

[mrazizi]

What is your question?

I am trying to run wsj recipe using ./run.sh but I get the following error:

Stage 0: Data Preparation
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'links/??-?.?': File exists
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'links/??-??.?': File exists
wsj_data_prep.sh: Spot check of command line arguments failed
Command line arguments must be absolute pathnames to WSJ directories
with names like 11-13.1.
Note: if you have old-style WSJ distribution,
local/cstr_wsj_data_prep.sh may work instead, see run.sh for example.

Code

./run.sh

What have you tried?

I don't see cstr_wsj_data_prep.sh in local directory of wsj directory.

!ls local/cstr_wsj_data_prep.sh

ls: cannot access 'local/cstr_wsj_data_prep.sh': No such file or directory

see if data/local/data/links exists. if yes. remove it before re-run the script.
