[SOLVED] tgrep command not found

ghantauke · 03-05-2011, 02:59 PM

The tgrep commands not working in my terminal at the moment and I was told by someone the following.

"It's not a standard command. I suspect the source needs to be recompiled for the
current platform. Can you find the source files and compile them in your home dir?"

I can't get into touch with that someone at the moment so could anyone explain what exactly that means and how I get tgrep working.

Thanks

I'd never heard of tgrep so I Googled it, and discovered several different tgrep: "Threaded grep," "Time grep," the "Telephony Gateway Registration Protocol," et al.

So, the first questions you need to answer, is "What tgrep are you interested in? For what goal are you hoping to use it? If we know the answers to those questions, we can, perhaps, offer some advice or assistance.

tgrep which is a version of grep (I think), which helps you to work with PennTreebank. I guess the main question is I have a command which isn't a standard linux command and I don't know how to "install" it. I'm not sure whether the term "install" is correct in this case because I'm trying to do what I was told which is stated in my earlier post. Explaining what that means to a linux beginner like me would be very helpful.

As far as I can see, tgrep2 is the version used by the U Penn people, That is distributed in source code only, not pre-compiled for you. (As you said your friend told.)

In general terms, what you need to do is:

Download the compressed "tape archive" file: wget ftp://ftp.crl.ucsd.edu/pub/tgrep/tgrep.tar.gz
Uncompress the file into the ~/tgrep/ directory: tar -xgf tgrep.tar.gz
Change your working directory to that directory: cd tgrep/
Read the instructions: less README.LINUX
Create the tgrep command: ./INSTALL

That is a general outline because the specifics of how you do each of those steps will depend on the Linux distribution you're using. Note, however, that the install script assumes that you have the commands bison, flex, imake and gcc available on your system, and that you have the X11 application libraries available. (Re the X11 libraries, the script seems to be assuming the obsolete X11R86 libraries, so you may have a problem with graphical output.) The script is written in the csh script language, and you'll also need that installed before you can run it.

The OP has two threads about tgrep.

Very informative thanks. I've done what you told me but I get an error in the installation process. The following shows what I've done and what error I get.

Editing tgrep/config/user.def.orig, line 9 to :
USER_CC_FLAGS = -Wall -mcpu=i486 $(OPTIMIZE_FLAG)
... may bring you a fragment of a step further.

But the code time stamp = August 2000, and gcc-2.95 specific headers
are used ( e.g. varargs.h ), so do not expect this tgrep to be usable.

Suggest : TGrep2, already suggested in one of your duplicate threads

There may be a solution for the old tgrep :
dpkg -i cpp-2.95_2.95.4-11woody1_i386.deb gcc-2.95_2.95.4-11woody1_i386.deb
http://archive.debian.org/debian-arc...in/g/gcc-2.95/

'tgrep/config/user.def.orig' : line 9 will then do with ..
USER_CC_FLAGS = -Wall -m486 $(OPTIMIZE_FLAG)

And : line 3, edit to : CC = gcc-2.95
