Those files are part of sphinxbase and pocketsphinx. You probably need to install them first. Make sure you are using latest version of them. And read instructions carefully, actually it's rather hard to  make a mistake following them.

You need to install python development package

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/python-dev

I did install the latest sphinxbase and pocketsphinx successfully but still i get the following errors that i got before. This happens when i run the server.tar.tgz from the http://scribblej.com/svn/. I don't know whether there is something i missed or that i don't understand on the tutorial can somebody please help me with this or could somebody provide another link to a tutorial that will provide additional information for me to make this project work.thanks in advance

It's very hard ignore the following line on the Scribblej's page:

cd astsphinx;CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/sphinx/include/sphinxbase -I/opt/sphinx/include/pocketsphinx" LDFLAGS=-L/opt/sphinx/lib ./configure --prefix=/opt/astsphinx;make install

CPPFLAGS here points to the location of the pocketsphinx headers which should be presumably present in that location. I'm not sure why are you so blind.

I'd recommend you to read this document

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-Building-HOWTO.html

it will definitely help you to understand the basics.

i followed the tutorial until i got to the dialplans of asterisk,now my problem is now i am calling from an xlite softphone using the dialplans provided on scribblej website so i can say the simple phrases and i get the following errors

[Oct  4 21:48:38] ERROR[30141]: res_speech_sphinx.c:644 sphinx_connect: Connect failed with unexpected error: Connection refused
[Oct  4 21:48:38] ERROR[30141]: res_speech_sphinx.c:147 sphinx_create: Can't create Sphinx server
[Oct  4 21:48:38] ERROR[30141]: utils.c:966 ast_carefulwrite: write() returned error: Broken pipe
[Oct  4 21:48:38] ERROR[30141]: utils.c:966 ast_carefulwrite: write() returned error: Broken pipe
 

i thought i did start the server with the command from scribblej website  as follow

astsphinx 10069 ./configfile yesno phonetree compass 2>/dev/null

your help will be greatly appreciated
