Hi, was afraid of this will try to build gnopernicus from cvs and see what happens. Will also try to build gnome-speech from cvs also. If I need help I will let you know thanks a bunch. I by the way did post this problem to the gnome list a while back and did not get a respons. I always get a respons here so this is why I posted this off topic thread sorry kerk! Thanks much. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Kenny Hitt Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 4:44 AM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: Off topic gnopernicus and debian Hi. We should probably take this to the gnome-accessibility list. You probably want to build Gnopernicus and gnome-speech from source. Debian's Gnopernicus is still at 0.9. The current release is up to 0.10.7. If you want braille support in Gnopernicus, you will need to upgrade your Brltty. The version in Debian is to old to work. You will need to rebuild gnome-speech to get support for your DECtalk software. Also, the official gnome-speech package contains a program called test-speech which isn't in Debian's package. I've found test-speech very helpful in figuring out problems. Like it's name suggests, it will let you test the speech servers available to Gnopernicus. Debian's festival isn't to old to work with Gnopernicus, but Gnome-speech might not be working. For Braille support, you will need to upgrade to at least Brltty 3.6.1 and get a file called ttybrl.c from the Brltty svn and replace the one in the Gnopernicus source tree. I'm using Gnome, but I built Gnopernicus, gnome-speech, and brltty from source. The rest of my Gnome is still Debian packages. This stuff is only documented in archives of the gnome-accessibility list, so it's not surprising you didn't find any info. Contact me privately if you want help building the packages from source in Debian. Hope this helps.
