I was able to successfully install the PET components and the ERG from <a href="http://cl.naist.jp/%7Eeric-n/ubuntu-nlp/" target="_blank">http://cl.naist.jp/~eric-n/ubuntu-nlp/</a>. I'm still going to try and build PET on my Mac using the latest source from the SVN repository. <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 7:35 AM, Eric Nichols <<a href="mailto:eric-n@is.naist.jp">eric-n@is.naist.jp</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">It would probably be best to use a later version of PET.
