Dear Moses people:
apologies for multiple postings.

Apertium[1] was accepted [2] in the Google Summer of Code[3] again this
year. We are looking for students who would be interested in working on
different aspects of rule-based MT for three months during the summer.
Apertium is primarily a rule-based project, but we also apply machine
learning to different problems. Aside from the ideas on our ideas page[4]
we would also be interested in hearing about any that you might be
interested in working on that would be of direct benefit to Apertium.

All the best,

Mikel Forcada

As far as I can tell, not understanding much of this code, the error
means that there's an invalid field in one of the alignment files.

The code expects each field in there to be two values, for source/target
language, separated by a dash. And it's finding a field where that dash
is missing. Did the file get truncated, e.g. because of a full disk?

(I honestly don't know what I'm talking about here, but this little bit
might help someone else find the problem more easily...)

Thanks, Graham! Is this the same as the CL preprint, or is your link an updated version?

Install zlib, the gzip compression library.
