well, this is turning out to be a mission! First, I install portaudio v18, and try to run the speak binary. I get an error about libstdc++.so.6 (or a similar name, cant quite remember). So, I decide to compile from source. When I do that, I get an error from ld about undefined references to functions in libportaudio.so. Is there something I've mist in configuration somewhere? tia, Arthur. ____________________________________________________ On Yahoo!7 Dating: It's free to join and check out our great singles! http://www.yahoo7.com.au/personals
