I have verified that the Dectalk software synthesizer is working by typing in a few lines to the say demo program. However, when I attempt to install the software-dtk RPM from the Emacspeak website, I get dependency errors for libtts.so, libtts_us.so, etc, which are all installed libraries provided by the software dectalk. Even if I try to install the RPM with the --nodeps option, I get errors saying that TCL libraries are missing. Again, I have installed the TCL and TCLX libraries but there's some kind of version conflict. > Finally, because I can't get the software-dtk rpm installed, Emacspeak can't find software-dtk/*.so files which it needs to run. I have added the /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib paths to the /etc/lib.so.conf and have run ldconfig. > I am running the current Fedora Core beta, so if anyone has had success using Dectalk software with Emacspeak in this distribution, please get in touch with me. > Thanks, > Steve > > Stephen Clower, that guy from the south. > You can reach me by any of the following: > E-Mail: steve at steve-audio.net > MSN: steve at steve-audio.net > AIM: AudioRabbit03 > > You can also check out my little home on the web by visiting http://www.steve-audio.net > > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >
