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fails on Red Hat 9 (outdated kernel).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.

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.

Thanks for checking it out PangPang. I'm relieved to hear it works and have fixed that naming
issue.

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 -

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.

@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.
