Hi Kirk, OK--I've tried it with both CVS and stable 1.00 on kernel 2.4.19. Here's what I've done: 1. Unpacked the kernel; 2. Installed Speakup; 3. Copied the usr/src/linux/* from the speakup-festival tarball into the linux-2.4.19 kernel tree; 4. Copied the stuff from the speakup directory of the speakup-festival tarball into linux-2.4.19/drivers/char/speakup 5. Kernel build with the errors I posted earlier... And in that order. Did I miss something, do you think? -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV/3 | "And if the ground yawned, Phone: (814) 455-7333 | I'd step to the side and say, Email: davros at ycardz.com | "Hey ground!
