I have speakup working with Festival, I compile festival from source and then installed speakup with the mods for software synthesizer (had to compile a new kernel). I tried compiling Flite yesterday and the compile failed (on slackware 9). I have never succeeded in compiling Flite on slackware. I try it every time a new release of slack comes out. Has anyone suceeded in compiling Flite on slackware 9? Also, has anyone tried to get the speakup mods for software synth working with Flite or ViaVoice TTS? -- Doug
