IOError: SIFT executable not found

[edess]

Hello! Hope you're fine. Need a help.

I've been trying the all program, and I reach this problem "IOError: SIFT executable not found error", and you already said in that case to "try sudo apt-get install libc6-i386". because "sift is a 32Bit executable and you need to install additional libraries to make it run on 64Bit systems"

So I did try to get this library, but I can't. I'm working on Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9). Apparently, the command "sudo apt-get install libc6-i386" will work on Linux distribution, but not on Mac.

Do you have any idea on how I could get this library for my 64Bit system ???

Thanks!!!!

Hi Edess,

how did you install SIFT?

Thanks Ludwig

Hi Ludwig ! thanks. Just your question help me to understand my mistake. Since I work in Virtualenv, I forgot to install SIFT and Libsvm (the Prerequisites) in the good working directory.

Thank to you, I corrected this mistake.

But just after, I got another Error (here is the screenshot of the error)

But the path is not wrong and the file not empty.

I'm trying to find the origin of the problem now. Do you have any idea about it ???

Thanks a lot Ludwig

i have installed SIFT and Libsvm and still get the IOError: SIFT executable not found and i am in mac too

Sift and libsvm have to be in the work directory. See https://github.com/shackenberg/Minimal-Bag-of-Visual-Words-Image-Classifier#prerequisites

Hi,

I have run "sudo apt-get install libc6-i386" on ubuntu 64 bits. But it still does not work. Are there any solutions and what should I do?

Thank you so much.

Hi, thanks for your interest. Can you list all the steps you did and all the things you tried and the exact error message? Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry about the ambiguous explainations.

Firstly, I run on the max os. I just follow all steps you have listed in "Prerequisites" section. Then I encounter the problem "IOError: SIFT executable not found error", I try to run the command to install "libc6-i386", but i do not know how to use apt-get command on max os.

Then I move to ubuntu, I follow the instructions you have listed, at this time I can run " apt-get install libc6-i386" on linux. It seems fine that everything has been installed. But when I try to learn a classifier, the error occurs as "IOError: SIFT executable not found error", so I do not know how to deal with that.

Sorry bragilee, for coming back to you so late. Can you please list all the steps that you did and show that the sift bin is in the correct folder.

Hi! I am also having the same error. As you can see my working directory is C:\Users\ISHAAN , so I copied all my files, sift and libsvm folder in this directory. Can you tell what should be done?

Hi, sorry, I can not help you as I don't have Windows to reproduce the problem. :(

same problem with @edess

[shackenberg]

Hi edess and yehjames, I have no idea what could be the cause and no time at the moment to investigate. Sorry

You just have to export the location to the sift executable to the PATH and source it. it will solve the issue.
