I've tried the following : 1)
sudo apt-get install python-nltk
sudo apt-get install python-tk
sudo apt-get install python-numpy
sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
The last 3 are just to avoid dependancy problems later.
2) I've also tried to build nltk from source.
None of the two approaches over work. This is the error I get:
Python 2.7.2 (default, Nov 1 2011, 23:57:57)
[GCC 4.6.1] on linux3
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import nltk
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named nltk
