Hi Cheryl, Yes, I've got all of the required packages installed. After getting everything installed I typed the following: mknod /dev/softsynth c 10 26 modprobe speakup_sftsyn I got no output from either command, but no speech. Am I missing something? *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 4/27/2004 at 11:58 PM Cheryl Homiak wrote: >First, the list of necessary packages lists pthreads; I can't find it >anywhere; what is it? >Also, to whoever is having trouble running it with festival and flite but >not with emacspeak (I think that's what I read; didn't save the message), >do you have festival-freebsoft-utils installed? > > >-- >Cheryl >"Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." > > >_______________________________________________ >Speakup mailing list >Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup Stephen Clower, that guy from the south.
