I am trying to patch a kernel version 2.4.3 and I was getting the error message binary operator expected from the install script. I also got the errors: Patching files [p./install: ${writeloc//^/\/}: bad substitution ] done. Copying files [c./install: ${writeloc//^/\/}: bad substitution ] done. I fixed the binary operator error and some of the files were installed in the source tree but when I run make config I do not get the speakup option anywhere in the choices. Anyone got any suggestions? Thank you, William Stianche
