-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 More specificly, I'm having trouble with speechd-up. It says it cannot find /dev/softsynth. Well, I have had that device all along and I just now rebuilt it in case there was something wrong and I still have the problem. I'm now using Speakup from latest CVS with kernel 2.6.16.12, Speech-dispatcher 0.6 and speechd-up 0.3. I should point out that I was using this stuff a month or so ago with Dectalk speech and no problems at that time. I will now include the log from /var/log/speechd-up.log - ----- Beginning of log ----- [Wed May 17 00:19:57 2006] speechd: Speechd-speakup starts! [Wed May 17 00:19:57 2006] speechd: Error while openning the device in read/write mode 19,No such device [Wed May 17 00:19:57 2006] speechd: Trying to open the device in the old way. [Wed May 17 00:19:57 2006] speechd: Error while openning the device in read mode 19,No such device [Wed May 17 00:19:57 2006] speechd: ERROR! Unable to open soft synth device (/dev/softsynth) - ----- End of log ----- Yes, if I do a ls -l on /dev/softsynth, I get the following: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 26 2006-05-17 00:18 softsynth This is inside the /dev directory. I get same errors whether I try using Dectalk, flite or now espeak. In fact, I manually tested espeak through the spd-say command and that part does work. So it is the soft synth problem that I can't figure out. - -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://ld.net/?holmesgrown -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEatI0WSjv55S0LfERA2w2AJ4kTUO40dtscRE5bnYFpp/Oe6wCogCfY7Fd KV344ueqi1HXvxSpWVhz6qk= =OkwR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
