Cannot find concatenated train.txt and valid.txtfiles! See the README in data

Im trying to run the IAMOnDB example.

I get an error when i run fetch_iamondb(...)

Cannot find concatenated train.txt and valid.txtfiles! See the README in data

I downloaded and unpacked

1. ascii-all.tar.gz
2. lineImages-all.tar.gz
3. lineStrokes-all.tar.gz
4. original-xml-all.tar.gz
5. original-xml-part.tar.gz

Can you point me in the right direction?

I also had some trouble figuring out from which folder i should execute the files such that CLE is properly imported?

Hi @skaae,

you might want to create a directory and put all the zip files in there.
Say your directory name is 'iamondb', extract all the files under there.
For instance, unzipped lineStrokes should be under:
$path_before_iamondb_dir/iamondb/
'train.txt' and 'valid.txt' are generated based upon the guideline in Alex Graves' review paper (http://arxiv.org/pdf/1308.0850.pdf).
We will add the text files under datasets dir of the repo.

I have a PR for this

For me, I added cle to the PYTHONPATH and all was well. Will give more details once I verify all is OK with my setup

I should clarify - my PYTHONPATH has the directory where cle exists added to it. In my case, I keep all my source code repos in ~/src/ , e.g. /src/cle . So I added PYTHONPATH="/src/":$PYTHONPATH to my .bashrc
