Installing kaldi on colab #4785

Closed Lazypanda278 closed 2 years ago

Lazypanda278 commented 2 years ago

I'm having issues installing kaldi on colab. I understand that the issue is due to colab not supporting symbolic links. Here is the trace.

ln -sf /content/drive/MyDrive/kaldi/src/base/libkaldi-base.so /content/drive/MyDrive/kaldi/src/lib/libkaldi-base.so ln: failed to create symbolic link '/content/drive/MyDrive/kaldi/src/lib/libkaldi-base.so': Operation not supported ../makefiles/default_rules.mk:58: recipe for target 'libkaldi-base.so' failed make[1]: [libkaldi-base.so] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/content/drive/MyDrive/kaldi/src/base' Makefile:164: recipe for target 'base' failed make: [base] Error 2

Any workaround for this ? Thanks.

Do you have write permission to /content/drive/MyDrive/kaldi/src/lib ?

Can you replace ln -sf with cp ?

Can you replace ln -sf with cp ?

Yes, it seems to work fine now. Thank you very much.

For the reference of anyone facing the same issue, I changed "ln -sf" to "cp" in line 59 of src/makefiles/default_rules.mk. Please note that other lines with ln -sf work fine. There was a problem with only this particular instance for some reason.

You can close this now. Thank you.
