-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am elated. I have had a chronic failure to be able to compile festival and speech-tools on this Slackware 9.1 system for a long time, but today decided, after all the talk here, to try the dectalk RT with speechd-up and speech-dispatcher. That last requires flite, and my apprechensions about compiling it were evidently groundless. It just finished compiling in about ten minutes, and it works! It sounds shitty, but it works. I kept an eye on memory usage while it was compiling, and during a portion of the compile it was using all but about 32K of my 256M of ram, plus about 90% of my 256M swap space. I gather it was converting voice files from Festival from that unique format into standard C code, a very ambitious compile task. But it worked, and I now have two speech engines functional. As I said, tomorrow the world.
