Installation from source follows standard GNU autoconfigure
installation procedures (that is, the usual
./configure && make && make install
stuff).
Installing from source is slower and harder, but it will work in any Linux box, even if you have library versions different than those required by the .deb package.
You'll need to install the C++ compiler:
sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconfIn Debian, use the same command as root, without sudo. In other distributions, check the distribution package manager to install a working C++ compiler.
All required libraries are standard packages in all Linux distributions. Just open your favorite software package manager and install them.
Package names may vary slightly in different distributions. See section 2.1 for some hints on possible package names.
As an example, commands to install the packages from command line in Ubuntu and Debian are provided, though you can do the same using synaptic, or aptitude. If you have another distribution, use your package manager to locate and install the appropriate library packages (see section 2.1).
Both in Debian (squeeze or wheezy) and in Ubuntu (Lucid or later) you need to do:
sudo apt-get install libboost-regex-dev libicu-dev sudo apt-get install libboost-system-dev libboost-program-options-dev
tar xzvf freeling-3.0.tar.gz cd freeling-3.0 ./configure make sudo make install
FreeLing library is entirely contained in the file libfreeling.so installed in /usr/local/lib by default.
Sample program analyze is installed in /usr/local/bin. See sections 2.3 and 6 for details.
