Mine did not seem to require that particullar lib. If you want, we can organize that you download a tar.bz2 file or two from here and try it quickly. In that case, it is not so mutch work. It is very responcive on a 1.7 ghz box and still quite ok on a 1.4 ghz, but a bit slower with the key echo. That is what i am typing on now.

I have libXm.so.3 installed with SuSE but this doesn't seem to work. wouldn't the version 3 of this lib work? would it not have the features of version 1? I've set up a simlink to that lib and called it libXm.so.1 but I'm not sure how to get the rpm to find it. >>> >>> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Speakup mailing list >> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright, terms and conditions and e-mail legal notice.
