Linguistics 187:
			      XLE HowTo

What to do to get xle to run on elaine.  You will need to edit your .cshrc file
and your .emacs file.  

If you have your own machine running linux or MacOSX, you can put a
copy of xle on it.  The tar files are at:

/afs/ir.stanford.edu/data/linguistics/XLE

Note that XLE is not open source and is not openly distributable.  You
can use XLE only for this class.


A. To your .cshrc you should:

  1. Add to your path: 

     /afs/ir.stanford.edu/data/linguistics/XLE/SunOS/bin
  
    It should look something like:

set path=( $site_path /afs/ir.stanford.edu/users/t/h/thking/bin /afs/ir.stanford.edu/users/t/h/thking  /afs/ir.stanford.edu/data/linguistics/XLE/SunOS/bin)


  2. Add the line:

     setenv XLEPATH '/afs/ir.stanford.edu/data/linguistics/XLE/SunOS/'

  3. Make emacs your editor by adding the line: 

     setenv EDITOR emacs

B. To your .emacs you should:

   1. Add the line:

  (load-library "/afs/ir.stanford.edu/data/linguistics/XLE/SunOS/emacs/lfg-mode")


C. In your directory where you will be working, you should make a soft
link to the large English grammar:

ln -s /afs/ir.stanford.edu/data/linguistics/XLE/eng-grammar/ eng-grammar


If you want to run this grammar, on the command line you can type:

  xle

And once it has loaded type:

  create-parser english/english.lfg

You will not need this grammar now, but you are welcome to play with
it and look at the files it uses.
