No such file or directory message

[hamsabharathi]

Hi!

I have tried so many combinations of directories. All of them have more than 2 GB of free space. The message I always while I execute ./configure --datadir=/c/

bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

@albarrentine , Please help

[rinigus]

It looks like you don't have configure script. Run ls to see the files in the current directory. If configure is missing, you probably have some autoconf routines not installed (see bootstrap script)

[hamsabharathi]

configure.ac is present. Is there something else missing?

[rinigus]

bootstrap.sh is expected to make configure script. So, for some reasons it fails to do so

[hamsabharathi]

I'm not able to find the reason either. It's been 2 days. The REST API also I'm unable to use due to lack of documentation

[rinigus]

Did you run

pacman -S autoconf automake curl git make libtool gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc

, as in Win instructions? I don't know much about windows builds, working on Linux. In Linux, it all works

[hamsabharathi]

I'm now trying it on Linux Virtualbox. What will the ./configure --datadir path be?

[rinigus]

wherever you want to store the data files. I have no idea on your Linux expertise. If you don't know where to store files in Linux, please read up on using Linux, its path structure, and common practices.

[hamsabharathi]

Ok. Thank you.

[hamsabharathi]

I was able to successfully install. But the command line interface is not working

[hamsabharathi]

Also when I pip install postal

@rinigus

[rinigus]

absence of ./libpostal is no good. I presume that the make command failed at some point. Please go to main libpostal directory, run make and paste its result.

[hamsabharathi]

When I executed the make command inside the libpostal directory. It never went past the last line in the screenshot for 15 minutes.

[rinigus]

It takes time to compile it. Wait till its done

[rinigus]

And I suggest to read up on make

[hamsabharathi]

The make command ran after a very long time. But when I did ./address_parser, this is what happened

[rinigus]

Was the make successful? It looks like it failed to download the files.

[hamsabharathi]

This is how the make ended. It successful returned to the command line

[rinigus]

did you follow https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal#installation-maclinux after make?

[hamsabharathi]

I did sudo ldconfig

[rinigus]

sudo make install ?

When you want to get feedback, don't paste screenshots, but output as text.

[hamsabharathi]

Yes. I did sudo make install. I'll keep that in mind next time

Libraries have been installed in: /usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR' flag during linking and do at least one of the following:

• add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable during execution
• add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable during linking
• use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
• have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

great! and now, in the same manner, check what you have in /home/downloads/libpostal . you should have about 1.9GB data in it:

du -sh .
1.9G	 .

and paste what was the response of ./address_parser

[hamsabharathi]

osboxes@osboxes:/home/downloads/libpostal$ du -sh . 1.9G . osboxes@osboxes:/home/downloads/libpostal$ ./address_parser bash: ./address_parser: Is a directory osboxes@osboxes:/home/downloads/libpostal$

Yes. There is 1.9GB data

[rinigus]

run

src/address_parser

in the directory where you compiled libpostal. I presume its /home/osboxes/libpostal

[hamsabharathi]

[rinigus]

you may have compiled partially without specified data dir and later compiled with the data dir specified. I would suggest to do all again

make distclean

and then bootstrap, configure, and make/make install

[jayvarner]

I had this problem today. My installation (Ubuntu) had worked in the past. Anyway, rinigus' suggestion to run make distclean and rebuilding fixed it for me.

[SeanDunford]

there are a few other issues in this repo that could probably be closed out with this solution.

[pratt-lightbeam]

make distclean didn't work. Still getting the same error.
