Thanks for the prompt responses. Here's the immediate output after running 'make' command.

You've got the wrong link-grammar source, I think. I grabbed this source and Lingua-LinkParser-1.14 built fine for me on linux (Mandrake-9.1), perl-5.12.0. Having grabbed that source, I unpacked it to /home/rob/perlmods, then did a 'cd' to /home/rob/perlmods/link-grammar-4.4.3. I then ran `./configure --disable-shared --enable-static`. If you want to build a shared (dynamic) lib, then run `./configure --disable-static --enable-shared` instead. And if you want to install to somewhere other than /usr/local you'll need to add the `--prefix=/home/aktest` (or whatever) argument to the command. After configure finished, I ran `make` followed by `sudo make install`. Then it was just a matter of building Lingua-LinkParser-1.14 in the "usual" way: `perl Makefile.PL` followed by `make test` and then `sudo make install`. See how you get on with that. Cheers, Rob.

I followed these 2010 instructions in 2019 and found that Lingua::LinkParser fails tests but seems to work after installing with --force (cpanm). Now I can enjoy "Parsing Natural Language with Lingua::LinkParser" from TPJ: http://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol5_3/tpj0503-0010.html	[reply]

Awesome !!! Thanks a ton Rob! It worked perfectly fine. The fact that Ubuntu already has link-grammar package (sudo apt-get install link-grammar) didn't help me in installing Lingua::LinkParser. I did a manual fetch of link-grammar as Rob suggested and followed the rest. Lingua::LinkParser working fine now..	[reply]
