Further to my earlier message I have been able to get a connection without a firewall so I am atemptingtto use the checkout script my self. I got two errors though. 1 .cvspass didn't exist so I created that. 2. its complaining that the checkout script isn't giving it an absolute pathname. Any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Darragh Sent: 13 October 2005 22:30 To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Installing speakup from CVS Hello, I have speakup downloaded from CVS however I couldn't use the checkout script as I had to get someone who wasn't behind a firewall to send it to me. I have a question. from where do I run the install script that comes with the speakup archive? if I run it from /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup it says "cp cannot stat 'speakup': no such file or directory. I assume I'm suppose to run it from there as the archive extracted with that structure. I've tried running it from /usr/src/speakup as well but that returns the same error. I'm working on getting it up and running on another 64 bit machine and was hoping I could learn a bit more by doing it using the CVS version. I've tried trailing through the CVS script but I get lost in the list. I thought it might have to be run from /usr/src/linux but That didn't give me much joy either. Any help apreciated.
