[Corpora-List] Charniak parser

[Pawel Mazur]

Hi,

On Mac OS X you can compile the Charniak parser (parser05Aug16) using gcc/g++ v. 4.2.1 (the default one in my installation of OS X 10.6.8).
You only need to add 
#include "GotIter.h" 
to parser05Aug16/PARSE/BchartSm.C
To compile the content of the TRAIN directory, you need to change a part of the line 310 in rCounts.C from 
(int)sbrk(0)
to 
(long)sbrk(0)


In the case of the Charniak-Johnson reranking parser (reranking-parserAug06) you need to:
-  change the line 128 of first-stage/PARSE/parseIn.C from
int id = (int)arg;
to 
int id = (long)arg;
- run 'make clean' before 'make' to recompile second-stage/programs/features/best-parses 

You can also rename features.gz to features.gz.Z and cvlm-l1c10P1-weights.gz to cvlm-l1c10P1-weights.gz.Z and make the relevant changes in parse.sh;
without this step the parser is working, but zcat complains about missing gz.Z files; doing this step stopped the messages to appear.
Alternatively, you can use gzcat instead of zcat in Makefiles. 

I thank Brett Powley for these hints.

regards,
Pawel
