There are rpms inside these tar files http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~laird/Linux/ViaVoice/ The TTS stuff is in these, there are 3 versions ViaVoice TTS version 5.1 http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~laird/Linux/ViaVoice/viavoice_tts_rtk_5.tar http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~laird/Linux/ViaVoice/viavoice_tts_sdk_5.tar ViaVoice Outloud version 5.1 http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~laird/Linux/ViaVoice/viavoice_outloud_rtk_5.tar http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~laird/Linux/ViaVoice/viavoice_outloud_sdk_5.tar ViaVoice Outloud version 5.0 http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~laird/Linux/ViaVoice/viavoice_outloud_sdk_rtk.tar You will probably need to use the force and nodeps options on rpm Example rpm -ivh FILENAME --force --nodeps ViaVoice only seems to work on systems with glibc 2.3.1. or earlier If rpm doesn't work the rpms can be converted to tgz files with rpm2tgz Sometime an eci.ini file needs to be generated using the inigen program (if the rpm install doesn't work) -- Doug
