A few questions on that, did you have a problem in the main function of sppeechd-up.c when compiling it from cvs and if so how did you get around it? Are the 4 and 5 necessary in the init script if you don't use x-windows? Do you need the festivel related speech package if you wish to use flite? thanks Sean ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kenny Hitt" <kenny@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 9:11 AM Subject: software speech with speakup in Debian > Hi.
