After a long rather inactive period on langui.ch, all the corpus tool entries in the database have been updated. The following sort order should enable visitors to figure out which projects are still actively developed and which projects are no longer maintained:

Excellent news! A couple of days ago, Andrew Hardie released a virtual machine with a preconfigured version of CQPweb installed:

> Subject: [CWB] Announcing CQPwebInABox
>
> Hi everybody,
>
> This is just a quick note to announce the availability of CQPwebInABox
> – a virtual machine image containing a pre-installed copy of CQPweb.
>
> This is designed to get beginners past the hump of having to install
> all the different components.
>
> The image (1.6GB) can be downloaded here:
> https://sourceforge.net/projects/cwb/files/CQPwebInABox/
>
>
> To run it, you will need to install VirtualBox (although I believe
> other virtualisation tools can also use the same file format, I haven’t
> yet tested this).
>
> You can get VirtualBox here:
> https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
> Then “import appliance” from the .ova download.
>
> The virtual machine runs Linux – however, I have set it up in such a
> way as to make the interface as similar to Windows as possible. So
> don’t fear the Linux!
>
> I will create some video tutorials & put them on YouTube as soon as I can.
>
> Feedback welcome.

The SketchEngine development team has just released a new open-source version of their tools (bonito, manatee, finlib – Download-Links), including the following highlights:

If you try to launch AntConc on a Debian-based 64-bit system, you get the following error message (tested with versions 3.2.4u and 3.4.1u):
./antconc3.2.4u: No such file or directory or ./AntConc: No such file or directory
The following steps were necessary for me to be able to start AntConc on a TurnKey Linux Server (Debian7, 64-bit) using ssh with X11-forwarding enabled (e.g. PuTTY plus Xming on Windows 8.1).
Important note: Please respect Laurence Anthony’s licensing terms and ask for permission before using AntConc in a server/group environment (see README section ‘LEGAL MATTER’ (p. 11) for details).
1) Activate i386 architecture on 64-bit systems:
apt-get install libc6-i386 dpkg --add-architecture i386
2) Install missing 32-bit libraries:
!["cqpweb-1-01"]("http://langui.ch/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/cqpweb-1-01.png")
!["cqpweb-1-02"]("http://langui.ch/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/cqpweb-1-02.png")
!["cqpweb-1-11"]("http://langui.ch/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/cqpweb-1-11.png")
!["cqpweb-2-14"]("http://langui.ch/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/cqpweb-2-14.png")
apt-get install libx11-6:i386 libxss1:i386 libxft2:i386For Ubuntu-based systems see this post, for other Linux distributions see ongoing discussion on: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/antconc
