trevelyan Posted February 27, 2007 at 10:45 PM Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 at 10:45 PM Hi everyone, We're now providing downloadable binaries for Linux. The details are all in here: http://www.adsotate.com/textbook/?q=node/886 I'm hoping to find some Linux users to test that the software works on their distribution. Right now Adso is known to run without complaint on the various Fedora Core distributions, although it fails on Red Hat 9 (outdated kernel). If there are any Linux users out there who are interested in playing with machine translation and text-analysis software who want to help us with testing the software, the help would be appreciated. Copies of the software and database are available at the address above, both updated daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PangPang Posted February 27, 2007 at 11:42 PM Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 at 11:42 PM Ran it on Centos 4.4 x86_64 and it seemed to work fine. Note that I downloaded adso-stable-2007-02-28.tar.gz, but it extracted into adso-devel-2007-02-28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevelyan Posted February 28, 2007 at 06:56 AM Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 at 06:56 AM Thanks for checking it out PangPang. I'm relieved to hear it works and have fixed that naming issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokane Posted March 7, 2007 at 07:41 PM Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 at 07:41 PM If it's a command-line app, is there any chance of porting it to OS X? (It's based on BSD, so supposedly it should be pretty similar.) I could try compiling it myself, if there's no platform-specific/otherwise tricky stuff there.

imron Posted March 8, 2007 at 01:48 AM Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 at 01:48 AM If it's still more or less the same command-line app as the version I ported for Windows, it should be trivial to get it working on OSX. The only issue I can see is potential Big-Endian/Little-Endian differences for non-Intel Macs, but even that is not too hard to sort out. If you would like Mac porters/testers, I've got a Mac now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevelyan Posted March 9, 2007 at 12:23 AM Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 at 12:23 AM @Brendan and Imron -- Great. There have already been a couple of changes from the last stable release which do things like prevent the software from crashing under strange conditions. I want to find and solve whatever is giving us thoseSQL errors on NewsinChinese. When that's done I'll send you both the latest source.
