Hi all: Just curious, I have a version of flite as a slackware package I got while running slackware 9.0, it's version 1.2. I am now running 10.1, and I did the installpkg thing and flite seems to be working, at least when I use the test option to read a text file, but when I fire up gdm to run gnopernicus it doesn't come up talking, and I cannot think of what I may be missing. I know the list is speakup oriented, so any responce should be off-list so I don't clutter it... thanks anyone who can enlighten me... Cheereo!
