slackware mailed out many bad cd's for 9.1. I have a subscription to slackware and when I opened my 9.1 package up I found one of the CD's in its package but off of its spindle. Naturally, that turned out to be disk 2 of the set and installation of several packages on that CD failed. It probably is the case this also happened to others having difficulty compiling flite since packages used by flite to compile as well as speech-tools are on disk 2. Any company that fails to wrap jewel cases with taped on bubble wrap deserves what it gets in this instance though and I wrote support at slackware.com and told them. I was listening to the installation on disk 2 and had things set to install everything and heard the errors as they happened so that's how I know what went on.
