Could you test the patch #608?

I could not find out the reason from this error.
Could you run make mecab.done without -j option and then share the log?

[kan-bayashi]

I checked NEologd installation code, It uses google drive to download files.
I doubt that you cannot use google drive in your country.

[zssloth]

Thanks. Google service is blocked in my country, I will try to figure out if this is the reason for the issue. Belowings are the logs realted to NEologd installation when run with make mecab.done:

Actually, the installation of mecab.done is needed for only the Japanese TTS recipe egs/just/tts1.
So maybe you can skip it.
I made minimum installation in Makefile (#628).
It will help you.

[zssloth]

The installation succeeded without installing mecab, thanks @kan-bayashi !

[kan-bayashi]

I will close this issue.
