Trouble with older Linux software

[Scarlette]

Hello Ladies and Gents,

I'm having a spot of trouble with some older Linux connectionist modeling software (which I'm trying to install on Ubuntu).

It can be found here: ftp://ftp.crl.ucsd.edu/pub/neuralnets/tlearn_src/

I have a basic understanding of makefiles and so forth--I'm able to change the "EXP_LOC=/usr/local/lib/exp/exp_table" in the makefile to one that actually exists. But even when I do this, I'm not able to run the binaries.

Any assistance would be *much* appreciated!

Best,
Steph

I think it may have to do with the "exponential look-up table," if that helps. Not sure what an exponential look-up table is, though.

What problem are you having exactly?

I had no trouble compiling and running the software, although I don't know what to do with it.

The steps I followed:

• Edit Makefile to change EXP_LOC variable to an existing directory
• make
• make exp
• ./tlearn

And then tlearn runs and gives "ERROR: No -s specified: Invalid argument" because I have not supplied a required argument. Have you gotten as far as this point?
