testing simon

This is what I did yesterday:
- I used the Voxforge German acoustic model (voxforge_de_simon-2010-04-23.tar.bz2) as static base model.
- Used the German Tastatur scenario.
- From the shadow dictionary (Ralf’s German dictionary) I trained the word angehören.
- Selected the option adapted base model (instead of static base model).
- Then an error message appeared:

As the server compiled the model the following error occurred:
Could not adapt the base model. Please check your paths to HERest (/usr/local/bin/HERest).

Here is what I am doing right now: I want to take a closer look at the error message:

I would like to adapt the German simon Voxforge base model. But obviously, there is a problem with HERest.
