Well, were are those libs? Is that directory referenced in /etc/ld.so.conf? And, did you run ldconfig after installing? Juan Hernandez writes: > Hi, I am working on getting software speech. I installed the dotconf libs, I downloaded them from azzit.de/dotconf website thats thd url given in speech dispatcher. I installed them the standard way, ./configure ; make ; make install. that went great, then I went to configure speech dispatcher, it compiled correctly. when I went to run it, I couldn't get it to run, so I give speech-dispatcher the -s option for running in single mode, and I saw it couldn't find the dogconf libs, any ideas? thanks > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Janina Sajka, Chair Accessibility Workgroup Free Standards Group (FSG) janina at freestandards.org Phone: +1 202.494.7040
