Before post it, i've made a search, and i found similars errors but no good reply.

Just like royerfa at topic "Sphinx again and again"

I try to use the tuto for Sphinx 3 using the WIKI, 
 
http://sphinx.subwiki.com/sphinx/index.php/Hello_World_Decoder_QuickStart_Guide

And i got stuck on that error: ERROR: "cmd_ln.c", line 868: Unknown argument: -debug

Actually has another error too: ERROR: "wid.c", line 282: <unk> is not a word in dictionary and it is not a class tag. but i don't know if it is important.

If anyone could help me, i will thank a lot.

Here my log:

I thought that i was in the right place.

Where exactly it is? Out of this domain?

I'm thinking about reinstall everthing. Including ubuntu.
