I have the same problem:

>perl scripts_pl/decode/slave.pl

MODULE: DECODE Decoding using models previously trained
        Decoding 130 segments starting at 0 (part 1 of 1)
        0%
        Aligning results to find error rate
Can't open /home/xpecttrum/sphinx_tutorial/an4/result/an4-1-1.match
word_align.pl failed with error code 65280 at scripts_pl/decode/slave.pl line 173.

-------------------------------

I could not find the reason yet, anyone?

anyone tells you to look in the log in logdir/decode and read it carefully.

Thanks snh,

This helps, now I realised also that I can check some messages at my local file

file:///home/xpecttrum/sphinx_tutorial/an4/an4.html

looking to the logfile I could solve 2 issues I had, now the program runs.

However, I still don't have the desired results, it says me that this step had 6 errors and 2 warnings...

Question: Is it going to decode actually what sound?

I will post here because maybe helps someone else.

In my case, the solution for this error was:

editing /etc/ld.so.conf

add a new line with "/usr/local/lib" or the path directory that contains the file "libsphinxbase.so.1"

then run "sudo ldconfig"

That's it.

I forgot to post that I also needed to do this:

cp /home/xpecttrum/sphinx_tutorial/an4/etc/an4.ug.lm.DMP /home/xpecttrum/sphinx_tutorial/an4/etc/an4.lm.DMP


Don't know if it is here that I should post it, but a nice hint goes,
 for listenning the .sph sounds, I am using:

aplay an4/wav/an4test_clstk/fcaw/*.sph  -f S16_LE -c1 -r18000


I hope it is usefull to someone

Nice you are doing progress, you see it's faster than "me too" of forum.

Btw, sph files are at 16kHz, so the command above should have -r 16000
