So I downloaded the zip kit.
Then I went to apt and installed the pocketsphinx, pocketspinx-dbg, and 
pocketsphinx-dev packages along with python-gst0.10 (already there) , 
python-gst0.10-dbg, python-gst0.10-dev. CMU-Cam_Toolkit_v2 I downloaded and 
built and installed. 
firing it up -- python crash. could not load the gstreamer libs. futzed around 
on the net and determined that you must set GST_PLUGIN_PATH in the environment,
So I did that.  
export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.10  -- OK
then it fires up and the pocketsphinx module segfaults in dict.c
on the dict_free() function. 
I Tried to debug it with gdb thusly:
gdb /usr/bin/python
gdb>> set args -m pdb freespeech.py
and determined it was indeed in /usr/local/lib/libpocketsphinx.so.

So I ran it under python-dbg but that led to a huge bunch of missing debug 
libraries in the linux system so I futszed with that for awhile but never got 
any closer.
So I pulled pocketsphinx out of the system (removed the packages) and 
downloaded the new ones from the main site and built sphinxbase and 
pocketsphinx with the -ggdb flag. Wa La!  
Wonderful window appeared ,and it started spitting out words as I talked. 
( Wrong ones <-> <->). 
Now it quits writing to the window after the first run -- restoring the old lm/ 
files and deleting the new ones brings it back.

The PPA listed in the installation instructions hasn't been updated since 2010, 
and current versions of Ubuntu won't recognize it. Is this still the 
recommended way of installing the software?
