[help-GIFT] problem starting gift

[Nikhil Vasudev Shirahatti]

Hi,

I am Nikhil. I am a student in University of Arizona. I intend to use GIFT
for a project in one of my courses.

I complied the lastest version of gift and installed it. I have added a
image collection now located in ~/gift-indexing-data/1000/*.jpg .

When i run ./gift 12789 from the ~/gift/bin/ directory. This is the
message i get.

Random number generator has been seeded with 14328
gift: CAlgorithmCollection: The following is the config file
located at "/home/nvs/gift-config.mrml" as read by this program:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no" ?>

<!DOCTYPE mrml SYSTEM "file:/home/nvs/giftbin//share/mrml.dtd">

<!-- This file has become quite a free interpretation of MRML
     the above !DOCTYPE is rather for the use of psgml than
     a promise that the following is pure MRML. In fact the
     parser does not validate.

This is a configuration file for the server. It contains
information about collections, algorithms and
property sheets.


THIS FILE NEEDS CLEANING. ABOUT HALF OF THE LINES HERE ARE
LEGACY CODE. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT YET TESTED HOW THINGS BEHAVE
WHEN YOU REMOVE THE LEGACY CODE. SO, FOR A WHILE YOU HAVE
TO LIVE WITH QUITE A NUMBER OF OBSOLETE TAGS.

    <!--COMMENT The new definiton of the default algorithm
                The default algorithm performs in fact a meta
                query of several inverted file queries.
                Each sub-query of the meta query is
                specialised on one of the feature groups

                Color histogram
                Color block
                Gabor histogram
                Gabor block

                Each one of them is pruned in adifferent way.
