The way I would suggest doing it is to grab the fink versions of those libraries, examine the patch and info files if any, and build them that way. I did this for building xpdf last night so I could have an pdftotext that would ignore the ridiculous permission bits and let me read a PDF whose textual content is impossible otherwise. I can try to help if you need some--I'm a Mac user. My fledgling book reader is actually being written on a Mac using Apple's Macintalk because it sounds way better than Festival Lite, and I'm not ready to fork over cash for something better on the Linux platform until I have something a little more complete to offer people. I've kinda abandoned the use of an emacspeak speech server in my own work because I'm using a word callback to tell me approximately how far into the buffer the thing has read when you hit the pause button. I haven't a clue how to do that with the speech server model devised by Dr. Raman. (Suggestions are welcome though since I could probably port my Intone API to it pretty easily if there's a good way..) On Mon, Dec 26, 2005 at 03:17:52PM -0600, John J.
