I am trying to setup environment for sphinx4 in Ubuntu 12.04. While extracting JSAPI.JAR in lib directory from terminal I get following error:

when trying to accept the BCL :

Accept (y/n)?: y 
x - creating lock directory 
x - extracting jsapi.jar (binary) jsapi.sh: line 257: uudecode: command not found 
restore of jsapi.jar failed 
jsapi.jar: MD5 check failed

according to the tutorial here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSnjlmfkrG0 ) if i am getting errors then i am missing some required dependencies.... Can anyone please help that which dependencies do i need and how to install them.

note: I am a starter in ubuntu so do not know much about it, therefore please give a detailed answer

Thanks

The message says you uudecode tool is missing. You need to install it

uudecode is a part of sharutils package, so apt-get install sharutils should help you

Also jsapi is really outdated, you should not use it.

    I import all the external Jar files in eclipse, but eclipse doesn't recognize most of the packages therefore I can't run the demo projects.. I am following the steps exactly like the tutorial I have mentioned in the question. please help if you can. – B-Abbasi May 18 '13 at 11:48
