[CWB] Re: cwb-align error

[Hardie, Andrew]

To explain: the problem is probably not with cwb-align. cwb-align is
failing because it can't access your data or because the data file is
empty, which means there is probably a problem with one of the previous
steps - I was asking about your data directory because the files it
contains (and the sizes of those files) may be a hint as to *which*
step; could you give the full list of files?

Also, have you been able to access that corpus via other programs, e.g.
can you run single-corpus CQP queries or cwb-decode successfully?

Thanks, but can you perhaps be a bit more specific? I have several
non-empty files in this data directory, among those also file names
starting with "word." eg. "word.corpus.cnt" and "word.huf" etc. They
should be accessible. There are words in the corpus.

I am using CWB version 3.0. I am told that cwb-align worked with the
same settings and switches with CWB 2.2. on a different Linux. Maybe I
should switch to an earlier version of CWB?

Best,
Kaarel

This error message is triggered if cwb-align can't load the file that
contains the word attribute of corpus 1, or if there were 0 words in the
corpus. Can you check the contents of your data directory for the corpus
diversfr-et?
