Hello everyone, I received the ttsynth for Christmas. I have been able to get it to work on my 32bit machine, and 64 bit machine, running under gnome. I cannot seem to get it to work on either machine under speakup in terminal mode. I cannot get spk-connect to compile under x64, I had a friend look at it and was able to get it to use the audio lib; however I guess it puked on one of the ibm lib's. There was also a memory issue, stating that it was not valid. When I ran it on my I386 box I was able to get it to compile; however it also gave me a invalide memory value of some kind. I do get a binary that I can execute. I do not know how to tell if it is actually running though. I suspect that it is not running because when I issue the modprobe speakup_sftsyn command. I receive a fatal module speakup_sftsyn not found. I have been reading and trying to figure this out. I am not doing so good. Does any one know what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any help. Scott
