hi vinh

1. SRILM has it's own mailing list. It might be better to ask them

http://www.speech.sri.com/projects/srilm/

2. There are better, newer, freer language model toolkits, eg. KenLM.
Unless you are doing something that's specific to SRILM, I would
recommend you use KenLM. It is included with Moses so you only have to
compile Moses and you will get KenLM as well.

3. If you are going to use Moses, I would recommend using Linux rather
than OSX. Many Moses' components are written on Linux and have to been
tested on OSX. You may run into problems.
