After following the instructions of setup.

I am facing the same issue. Did anyone find a way to resolve it?

Make sure you're following the advice here: https://github.com/njsmith/pysrilm/issues/4#issuecomment-63452522

In addition to that, make sure you've done the following:

1. Compile SRILM with MAKE_PIC=yes make
2. Add "lbfgs" to the "libraries" listed in setup.py
3. For my installation, liblbfgs was in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but I had to add it to LIBRARY_PATH as well before running python setup.py build_ext --inplace

The problem was resolved when I did NO_TCL=X in the makefile
