The error showed up during the "make all" stage. It turned out to be a discrepency between where the rpm of flite-devel had placed the flite headers, and where speech-dispatcher expected to find them, i.e. the rpm put them in /usr/include and the make was looking in /usr/include /flite. Turned out that symlinks weren't good enough, either. I had to actually copy the files. Sean McMahon writes: > Is this from cvs or from a tared download?
