Hi, Your ahead of me, i couldn't get gnome2 to compile, let alone gnompernicus. But there's festival rpms on redhat8 CD2, they are festival and festival-devel, install them, and that's all i know. Any information on how you've got gnome2 to compile would be very helpful. Thanks. Dave. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
