I have already installed Open Fst in Ubuntu and its working fine. Now i'm trying to install Open GRM thrax. I have tried installing with 2 different versions of thrax.
Thrax version 1.1.0:
thraxOpenGrm/thrax-1.1.0$ ./configure
below is the error that i get.

It throws different errors with different thrax versions. I read a solution in this forum.

It says openfst must be 'built' with ./configure --enable-far=true . i uninstalled openfst and installed it using ./configure --enable-far=true and also with ./configure --enable-far. The error still persists.
During installation of openfst you have to type:
./configure --enable-far=true --enable-pdt=true --enable-mpdt=true
Then you should install thrax and while on it, type in terminal:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
Worked for me for openfst-1.5.4 and thrax-1.2.2.
When I got:
checking fst/extensions/pdt/pdt.h usability... no
I added:
--enable-pdt=true
to ./configure for openfst and I did the same for mpdt error. If you get other errors, you can try doing the same.
