Hi, Scott: Build the Speakup Connector on your i386 (32-bit) machine, then copy the binary this creates, spk-connect-ttsynth, to your x86_64 (64-bit) machine. The connector will not build on 64-bit machines, but a 32-bit binary connector will run on 64-bit machines. Janina Scott Ford writes: > HiJanina, > I am running speakupmodified FC8 x64 on my notbook.
