Shaun Your errors are with incompatible versions of speakup and a kernel I do believe. Looks like you tried building current cvs against 2.4.4. I don't see any reason why you would want to build 2.4.4 at this point. I suggest that you build 2.4.9ac10. This can be accomplished by getting the 2.4.9 source tarball and the ac10 patch which can be found at ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/linux-2.4/2.4.9/patch-2.4.9-ac10.gz To patch the ac patch make sure the the 2.4.9 source is in /usr/src/linux then make a link to this called linux.ac This can be done by 'ln -s linux linux.ac' from with in the /usr/src dir. Then from /usr/src do 'patch -p0 <patch-2.4.9-ac10' Of course this assumes that you already gunziped it. Then use the checkout script to apply cvs of speakup.
