Wordnet 3.0 installation issue on Fedora 17


I am trying to install wordnet 3.0 on Fedora 17

I have downloaded tar.gz for wordnet 3.0 from their website.

I have executed following successfully uptil now:

tar xzf WordNet-3.0.tar.gz
cd WordNet-3.0.tar.gz
./configure

following was output created on console

But when i try to execute "make", following message comes as output:

`make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.`  

does anybody know what may be the problem?


Solution

  • It worked after installing the dev packages for tk8.4-dev and tcl-8.4-dev

    Then running configure with:

    ./configure --with-tk=/usr/lib/tk8.4/ --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4/
