Broken Wheels

The whl files linked to http://ltdata1.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/pykaldi/ don't seem to work.

conda create --prefix ./.cenv -c defaults -y python=3.9
conda activate ./.cenv
wget http://ltdata1.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/pykaldi/pykaldi-0.2.2-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl
pip install pykaldi-0.2.2-cp39-cp39-linux_x86_64.whl
python

You still need to install the pykaldi compatible Kaldi version after installing the pip package. It's currently not bundled into the whl. See the instructions on https://github.com/pykaldi/pykaldi at "Starting a new project with a pykaldi whl package". You should use the install_kaldi.sh script.

Maybe we could improve the error message though, so that it points users in the right direction (missing kaldi install).

@bmilde Thanks, but that script doesn't work either. #303

[chrisspen]

Yeah, both the conda and virtualenv install methods fail due to a missing MKL library. Where do we obtain that?

https://github.com/pykaldi/pykaldi/blob/master/tools/install_mkl.sh

[chrisspen]

Thanks. That makes things easier. You might want to chmod +x so it's executable by default like the other scripts.
