HTK compatibility during installation

[Immiora]

My apologies if the request is misplaced but I am having difficulties installing HTK dependency for the aligner.

I followed the instructions you provide for installing HTK but keep getting an error about lgcc:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Our systems administrator says that the gcc library is installed, and the error is likely due to incompatibility issues with the HTK toolkit (3.4.1) requiring an older version of the library.

Could you comment on this and/or provide some suggestions on how to fix the error?
Thank you!

I've never come across such an error. I'm not sure what causes this. It seems to be related to the version of gcc. Would this StackOverflow Q&A help your case? https://stackoverflow.com/a/46564864
