That was it! I was using the old version from the voxforge quickstart. I downloaded and installed Julius 4.1.2, ran yum install libesd.so.0, and your command ran fine for me. Thanks again!

I have a similar need and have followed the instructions in this thread.
I created a bin file by using  

         mkbingram -nlr lm_giga_64k_nvp_3gram.arpa julius.bin

But when I run julius with -d with the above bin and -v with the dic file from the same LM dir.

Julius wants an hmmdef_file.

Can anyone tell me how to use the giga LM including the recipe for all the files?

Thankx

hmmdef file you can dowload here as a part of Voxforge acoustic model. It's not related to a language model at all.

I met the same trouble as you described here. I am trying to train an Acoustic Model in other language which is out of the lists given in this web. and I want to test my model,as i know, it must give HVite  a wdnet (grammar) ,or word network. i still can not figure it out.

so , i wonder if you got your problems solved? and how?

besides, i want to know how does n-gram,trained by HTK, used in my task?

many thanks,and waiting for your reply.

best regards.

Eric.

The solution would be to use decoder with n-gram model

> besides, i want to know how does n-gram,trained by HTK, used in my task?

Julius can decode with arpa models, see the parameter list of julius

HTK also provides large vocabulary decoder called HDecode, you can find details on it in HTK Book.
