Hi all, Due to certification issues at Oracle, I am required to use RedHat ADvanced Server 2.1 (3.0 when it is available). The kernel is 2.4.9-e.12, and I want to add speakup to it. I ran the install script that came with the speakup-1.5.tar.gz, and got the following output. ------------ Patching version v24 Creating .orig files [...cp: cannot stat `/usr/src/linux/arch/alpha/config.in': No such file or directory .cp: cannot stat `/usr/src/linux/arch/arm/config.in': No such file or directory .cp: cannot stat `/usr/src/linux/arch/m68k/config.in': No such file or directory .cp: cannot stat `/usr/src/linux/arch/mips/config.in': No such file or directory .cp: cannot stat `/usr/src/linux/arch/ppc/config.in': No such file or directory .cp: cannot stat `/usr/src/linux/arch/sparc/config.in': No such file or directory .cp: cannot stat `/usr/src/linux/arch/sparc64/config.in': No such file or directory ........] done.
