I did everything given in their documentation but I'm getting this error again and again....I tried googling and finding if anyone got the same error but nopes, didn't work out. Heres the command --

bazel test --linkopt=-headerpad_max_install_names \
syntaxnet/... util/utf8/...

And heres the error - 

ERROR: com.google.devtools.build.lib.packages.BuildFileContainsErrorsException: error loading package 'external': Extension file '@org_tensorflow//tensorflow:tensorflow.bzl' may not be loaded from a WORKSPACE file since the extension file is located in an external repository.
INFO: Elapsed time: 0.052s

here is a very useful script for installation on ubuntu-14.04 https://github.com/JoshData/models/blob/b72274d38f169f77e6a15e54834f463f627dc82a/syntaxnet/build/ubuntu-14.04_x64.sh

Finally solved it, it was related to the bazel version.

I had installed it before, so the version was 0.1.5. But in the docs, its written supported ones are 0.2 - 0.2.2b. I tried to upgrade it using brew but it didn't work.

So I tried to directly install it using the 0.2.2b installer and it worked :)
