Hi I think I have mentioned this a couple of times before. I still get unresolved symbols with the softsynth module and Speakup. This is with latest speakup CVS. Here is the output. Speakup v-2.00 CVS: Sun Aug 29 23:46:14 EDT 2004 : initialized Speakup: loading module "speakup_sftsyn" speakup_sftsyn: Unknown symbol synth_buff_in speakup_sftsyn: Unknown symbol synth_add speakup_sftsyn: Unknown symbol synth speakup_sftsyn: Unknown symbol synth_buff_out speakup_sftsyn: Unknown symbol synth_release speakup_sftsyn: Unknown symbol do_synth_init speakup_sftsyn: Unknown symbol synth_write speakup_sftsyn: Unknown symbol synth_alive speakup_sftsyn: Unknown symbol synth_remove speakup_sftsyn: Unknown symbol synth_done initialized device: /dev/synth, node ( MAJOR 10, MINOR 25 ) The softsynth module is my default Speakup module. All the speakup code is compiled as modules. Luke
