Alpino combined Binary/Source Distribution

Alpino is a dependency parser for Dutch, developed in the context of the PIONIER Project Algorithms for Linguistic Processing. This document concerns the binary/source distribution of Alpino. Be prepared for some work, if you care to install from the sources. If you intend to use the binaries, assuming these are available from your platform, then you should have no problems. Note that each of the binary distributions contain all the sources as well.

Installing Alpino - binary

Recently tested platforms: Linux 64 bit.
For binary installation: download and unpack an appropriate version from Alpino versions.
Quick start (binary distribution): make sure that the ALPINO_HOME environment variable points to the Alpino directory. Run $(ALPINO_HOME)/bin/Alpino.
If some of the related tools complain about missing libraries, then these may be available in create_bin/extralibs
