<p>I am trying to set up my system to do parse ranking experiments. I have checked out the logon tree from <a href="http://svn.emmtee.net/extras/handon">http://svn.emmtee.net/extras/handon</a>. I tried to run scripts in the logon/ling/redwoods directory as per <a href="http://wiki.delph-in.net/moin/LogonModeling">instructions</a> on the Wiki; however, the feature caching step fails.<br>
</p><p>Specifically, I ran the command "load --binary fc.lisp" in the logon/lingo/redwoods directory which collects features from the jhpstg corpus. It ran for 2 hours and 45
minutes and appeared to be working correctly, but then it failed with
the following error.</p><p><font face="courier new,monospace">[17:45:41] cache-features(): item # 31212: 7 events;<br>

</p><p>I tried running it again and saw a similar error, except this time in jh4/fc.bdb.</p><p>I'm stuck and need help getting past this step. Any suggestions? Here are my specific questions.<br clear="all"></p>
<p>Questions:</p><ol><li>Any idea what the problem is?</li><li>Can I just rerun load --binary fc.lisp, or should I do some cleanup first?</li><li>How do I run database recovery as directed by the error message in STDERR?</li>
<li>Is there some way I can specify a very small treebank for the
system to work with? Something that could finish this step in a few
minutes rather than a few hours. It would be okay if it was too small
to get reliable statistics out of, since for starters I'm just
verifying if the setup works.</li><li>Is there some way I can manually run the individual jh1, jh2, jh3, etc. steps? (It seems like they shouldn't depend on each other.)<br></li></ol><p>This is being run on the patas system at the University of Washington, which is Red Hat Linux.<br>
