Dear friends, I cleaned up speechdispatcher 0.6 and compiled again. While I found that speech dispatcher is recognising alsa libraries. One more question. Do I need all components that are required for speech dispatcher are to be configured in shared mode? I am asking this question because when I tried to test speech dispatcher after installation by issueing command speechdispatcher it is giving the following error. Cannot open the file libdotconfig.so.0 no such file or directory. I have speekup modified fc3 and found the file libdotconfig-1.0.so.0 in /usr/local/lib Please guide me in this regard. Hope to hear from you. Satyam. -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.385 / Virus Database: 268.6.0/341 - Release Date: 5/16/2006
