Issues running plain2snt.out #16

Open theamato opened 1 year ago

theamato commented 1 year ago

I'm Trying to run plain2snt.out on two text files in colab, but I get the error /content/giza-pp/GIZA++-v2/plain2snt.out:/content/giza-pp/GIZA++-v2/plain2snt.out: cannot execute binary file.

I installed the library like this: !git clone https://github.com/moses-smt/giza-pp.git %cd /content/giza-pp/GIZA++-v2/ !make and then ran plain2snt.out like this: !bash /content/giza-pp/GIZA++-v2/plain2snt.out /content/drive/MyDrive/big_corp_arabic.txt /content/drive/MyDrive/big_corp_english.txt.

I missing something? I'm working in Google Colab by the way.

no trouble for me. # ./GIZA++-v2/plain2snt.out -h ./GIZA++-v2/plain2snt.out txt1 txt2 [txt3 txt4 -weight w] Converts plain text into GIZA++ snt-format. Did you compile the executable on the same machine you're trying to run it?

Yes, I did. I read herehttps://superuser.com/questions/435988/how-can-i-resolve-the-error-cannot-execute-binary-file that the error can occur if one is running the executable on the wrong architecture - apparantly Colab is using x86_64. But if you had no issues with this I guess it has to be something else?
