You ran build.sh from within the speechd-up directory right? Your automake is atleast version 1.7 right? What the don't tell you in the readme is you need package libspeechd which is available in debian.Read the readme and install files which come with the source from cvs. I did not get the error you are getting. If you do apt-get install automake, that isn't necessarily automake version 1.7 you must explicately to apt-get install automake1.7 ----- Original Message ----- From: "jim grimsby" <jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speak Up Mailing List" <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 2:52 PM Subject: Building speechd-up > Ok well any one try to build speechd-up get this problem I tried first > ./configure > Before I could move on to the next step I was told this file could not > be found.
