What are your system specs and distribution fo linux? I've been told by the authors of flite that it takea a lot to compile it. Also I don't think it makes a difference but I did a make instead of make all and it cocmpiled fine on my fedora machine with 501 mhz processor and 256 megs of ram. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Stephen Clower Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2004 1:06 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: problems compiling FLite Hi folks, A couple of days ago I decided to install the Speech Dispatcher package along with Speechdup for software speech access. I read that FLite was a necessary speech engine, so I downloaded the source packages and uncompressed the tarball to a FLite directory on my computer. then changed to that directory, issued the ./configure command, and all went well. When I then typed "make all," the machine began compiling away. For about eight or nine minutes, the screen updated when new components were compiled, but at a particular point, the computer just sat there and the status quit updating. My hard disk even turned itself off due to inactivity. Unfortunately I was not able to get the exact line of the makefile where the compilation stopped, save for something about diphone.o and the -wall switch. If anyone has had compilation stalls like this, I'd be interested to know how they were resolved. Also, if I'm wasting my time with compiling something I don't need after all, please let me know. I have already got Festival and the Dectalk Software V5.01 installed. Thanks, Steve Stephen Clower, that guy from the south.
