According to the description on the pocketsphinx GitHub repository.

I tried a number of different approaches, using different blogs as guides, but I got nowhere.

I first tried downloading Pocketsphinx, Sphinxtrain, Sphinxbase and Sphinx4 from CMUs downloads page, but that didnt work.

I also tried installing the version hosted on SourceForge, but no luck there either.

I finally decided to try cloning and installing the version on GitHub, and that seemed to do the trick.

Apt Get Libtool How To Install CMUCLMTK

However, at the end of this post I show how to install CMUCLMTK from SourceForge, because they dont have it on GitHub.

Linux yoga 3.19.0-43-generic 4914.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 31 15:44:49 UTC 2015 x8664 x8664 x8664 GNULinux.

Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable interface.

Receiving objects: 100 ( 1030210302 ), 8.95 MiB 1.46 MiBs, done.

This will generate our Makefiles and other important scripts for compiling and installing.

Were going to get a long output here, so I only show some of it here.

AUTHORS config.status.git ltmain.sh NEWS sphinxbase.sln ylwrap.

Root permission is important, because otherwise you will get some error without any Permision Denied warning.

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries.

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for.

To check if youve actually installed it, just go to the terminal and do a tab-completion for sphinx.

Most likely you installed it with default prefix usrlocallib which is not included into the library search path.

When you logout and log back in, you will have to reset the variable again.

Apt Get Libtool Manual You Find

If you take a look at the Linux Programmers Manual you find the following description.

So, you can use nano to open it up, and add a new line that just says usrlocallib.

Thats it. Dont delete anything else or add anything else or you might get some headaches.
