<div>Hi,</div>

<div>I'm new to SRILM after installation I ran the tests. The
stdout and stderr differed for all files. I checked on a few
files with the nix diff command and found out, some numbers
are off by small amounts likie this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>< 0 zeroprobs, logprob= -4.23739 ppl= <span>25.850<span
style="font-weight: bold;">1</span></span><span
style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>ppl1= 131.43<br>
> 0 zeroprobs, logprob= -4.23739 ppl= 25.850<span
style="font-weight: bold;">2</span> ppl1= 131.43</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is this normal? What else could I do, or should I just live
with it? This is my machine: i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux. Any
help is apprechiated.</div>

Yes, this is normal, and shouldn't cause the tests to fail.<br>
<br>
The outputs of test runs are not compared using diff. Instead, the
script $SRILM/sbin/compare-outputs is used.<br>
Try <br>
compare-outputs REFERENCE OUTPUT<br>
and that should not complain about small numerical differences as
what you show above.<br>
If not, there is some kind of bug.<br>
