Hi. I use Debian. I have no problems compiling gnome-speech or gnopernicus. For now, the gnopernicus program doesn't give much feedback. Messages on the gnome-accessibility list say my problem is because I am using festival for my synth. Unfortunately, I haven't goten any of the other synth drivers to work yet.
