Error running ./jazzparser

[ghost]

Hi,

I'm downloaded the parser and when I try ./jazzparser in the bin directory I get this error :

can't open file '../src/jazzparser/parse.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I have python 3.5 (embedded in anaconda3) installed. Might this be the problem?

Thanks.

I changed the script inside jazzparser into this :

#!/bin/bash
# Runs the Jazz Parser, passing it all command-line args
. `dirname $0`/setpath
cd $here

## python2 ../src/jazzparser/parse.py $*
python2 /Users/cnytync/Programming/phd/jazzparser/src/jazzparser/parse.py $*

Now I'm getting this error :

You're right to use Python 2, rather than 3 - it won't work with 3.

The main problem, though, is that you need to set the paths that are set in the setpath script, but I suspect that when I wrote it I was using an older version of readlink, and that the options have changed.

In more recent code, I've used the following recipe, so I reckon that's likely to work better. Try replacing line 3 of setpath with:

"$(cd "$( dirname $( readlink -f "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" ))" && pwd )"
