FOlks, I had this installed on my Debian box and it worked fine, but I recently installed Fedora which is great by the way. Question is though that after installing the Dectalk software, I tried running the say command and got the following message say: error while loading shared libraries: libtts.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I checked over the /etc/DECKTALK.conf file and all looks ok. I'm sure I'm missing a step here, but not sure what that might be. Any help appreciated. Do I need to run something like ldconfig to update/add the libraries for Decktalk? I would have assumed being in the config file it would know where they live. All the libs are in /usr/local/lib and that is referenced in the config file. tnx Btw, festival actually doesn't sound so bad, but like the Decktalk software as well. Scott
