Linguistics 239e:
			      XLE HowTo

What to do to get xle to run on elaine (to run on a linux machine,
replace "SunOS" with "Linux").  You will need to edit your .cshrc file
and your .emacs file.


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 eng-grammar/english.lfg

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