well, the subject line says it all. basically when I go to test the outloud speech server, I get this error. [root@borg servers]# tcl outloud Using /dev/sequencer, device 0 Sequencer Emu10k1::0 -- type 1 Error: couldn't load file "./linux-outloud/tcleci.so": ./linux-outloud/tcleci.so: undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0 while executing "load $tclTTS/tcleci.so" (file "outloud" line 287) [root@borg servers]# any suggestions in this area would be greatly appreciated. I can't compile flite to use eflite because my compiler dies after trying to build one of the object files. I might look at trying to get the doubletalk pc to work with emacspeak. thanks in advance. -- Shaun Oliver "We're upgrading /dev/null" EMAIIL: shaun_oliver@optusnet.com.au ICQ: 76958435 MSN: blindman_2001@hotmail.com YAHOO: blindman01_2000
