Re: [help-GIFT] Re: Features Extraction

[Epa Uwimana]

Dr. Muller,

I found out what my problem was. Thanks to Tobias!!
I was running GIFT on 64-bit computer but perl was compiled for a 32-
bit computer.
My Script was and is working just in case somebody wants to use it in 
future.

Thanks

Dear Epa,

It depends a lot on what sizes you have. This perl is 32-bit centric.

If you want to be sure to read the same features as GIFT does, look at
gift-generate-inverted-files and see what it uses to read the .fts
files. I am currently not in a position to do this by myself. If
problems persist, please kick me again end of next week or beginning of
the week after.

Best,
Wolfgang
