I managed to solve that error and the sistem found the .conf file, but I got the same error as a week ago, it does nothing when i try to run julius:

~/julius-4.3.1-linuxbin$ julius -C julius.conf
STAT: include config: julius.conf
~/julius-4.3.1-linuxbin$

As you can see nothing happens, theres no error message

It might be helpful if you provide the activated options in your jconf file.

Here is a Julia script which would read your jconf file and output the activated lines only to your screen. You can capture the output and just post that - the whole file would be unnecessary and wasteful. If you don't want to use Julia then by all means use your alternative script.

fname = ARGS[1]
for line in readlines(fname)
    # output line starting with plain ascii dash/hyphen
    if startswith(strip(line),"-")
        print(line)
    end
end

Save the file and call it with "julia namefile.jl pathtojconf.jconf"

Hi Colbec, I havent go Julia installed and as you have seen I have lot of problems to install new softwares so I prefer to try it with my alternative script, but as you know im a rookie with all this staff. Can you explain this step by step please? Thanks

Another question: I will try to do all I have done with HTK on linux in another Virtual machine, so I want to know what type of Linux do you recommend me to use HTK. Now im using UBUNTU-16 but i want to try with a different one because I think that I probably have a big error in some intern files.

The idea is simply to read in your jconf file, read each line, and if the first character is a "#" then ignore it, but if it is "-" then report it.

Regarding a choice of distro, keep your options open. If you continue to have problems with HTK/Julius you might be tempted to go with the speech package Sphinx (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMU_Sphinx) which is the specialty of contributor nsh who as you have seen, has tried to help you before. So perhaps Dr. Nickolay S. has a suggestion for a distro, then you are in a good place to change horses.

Hi again!

No I have to use HTK, because im suposed to do my proyect using it. I have problems with all items which are related to the sound(also audacity, I cant record nothing) so I think I have make an error while installing the virtual machine. I will try to install another and see if the sound works.

You need to share the config.log file, not part of it. You can share over dropbox/google drive.

Sound should work fine in a virtual machine. Ubuntu 16.10 is OK distribution.

I had another thought on testing Julius. By selecting the right input mode in the jconf file it should be possible to test whether your already loaded, precompiled Julius is working by not using the microphone but reading an existing file. If you activate the option "-input rawfile" and deactivate the other input options by commenting them out with "#" then Julius on launch should load up and present you with the prompt "### read waveform input
enter filename->" It will wait there for you to type in the name of a wave file and when you press return will scan that file and try to decode the content to text. It's a test which does not depend on the audio system, where you seem to have some issues.

A second thought. Run your precompiled Julius with the option -debug. This will present a lot more information about your Julius startup which will be informative. On my system it starts:

> julius -debug -C al.raw.jconf
STAT: include config: al.raw.jconf
DEBUG: args: -input rawfile -nostrip -lv 2000 -tailmargin 400 -rejectshort 50 -dfa al.dfa -v al.dict -h acoustic_model_files/hmmdefs -hlist acoustic_model_files/tiedlist -spmodel sp -multipath -gprune safe -iwcd1 max -iwsppenalty -70.0 -smpFreq 16000 -penalty2 20.0 -b2 200 -sb 80.0 -n 1
