Unable to install dynet version 1.1

[vishaldotkhanna]

The code for this repository uses an older version of dynet(1.1) and gives error on running with the latest version.

However, installing the older version of dynet seems tricky because:

1. The installer tries to clone the repository for the library 'Eigen' but gets a 404 not found error.
2. I tried to manually update the command to the current URL for Eigen but it further gives the following error:

Is there a way to work around this issue? If you could share the zip file containing the Eigen repository(for the revision required by dynet 1.1), that would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance.
