Solution:

I had the same problem installing HTK on Ubuntu 14.04. I found the answer on Voxforge forum. The setup was designed for 32-bit computers, and to install you need to call a 32 bash. Type this on a terminal window:

linux32 bash

Then proceed with the installation:

./configure --prefix=/home/yourname/htk
make all
sudo make install

You may also need to install 'libx11-dev', before typing these:

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

Note:

The final binary file can be find:

/home/yourname/htk/bin

Testing:

By type the following command,

/home/yourname/htk/bin/HCopy

You should see
