What you said didn't exactly work but this did: # apt-get install -y libglib2.0-dev So there are a couple of things that are left out of the instructions at http://www.freebsoft.org/doc/speechd-up/speechd-up_1.html 1. As noted you need libglib. 2. You need g++ # apt-get install -y g++ 3. If you're running debian sid/testing, there are no libspeechd1 and libspeechd1-dev packages. You need libspeechd2 and libspeechd-dev. I have my linux box talking via the default software synth, festival, I think. All I need to do now is figure out how to get it to speak via DECtalk software and then I will be happy. Actually, I will have one more task after that: I'll want to have an easy way to use the software synth if the hardware synth is not connected to the serial port. I wonder if there is some way to auto-detect that? If not, I can do it manually. What I could do is have it default to the software synth and if the hardware synth is connected, after it boots and I log in, I can echo ltlk.... The only problem with that is that if I have it default to the hardware synth, it starts talking earlier in the boot process. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Sutherland" <doug@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2007 10:01 PM Subject: Re: problems compiling speechd-up > John, > > There compile stopped on > cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la' > > It would seem you are missing glib. > As root try find / -name *libglib* -print > It probably won't find glib, either that or > the build doesn't have path to where it is > > You seem to be on debian > apt-get install libglib > > hth, > Doug > > > John Heim wrote: >> I'm having trouble compiling speechd-up.
