Re: Getting Speech-Dispatcher To Work

Hi again,
Well I tried it in both system and user, since that is the first choice in spd-conf.
I also selected to have it auto start and I let it write a debug file because it still doesn't work.
spd-conf states that it might be pulseaudio, but I installed that.

In your user directory please run spd-conf and answer questions in order to make a user configuration file.  Since you are running orca, you may want to have speech-dispatcher started up when the system comes up.  That may get orca working for you.

Hi,
I am using a Pine64 board, it is an ARM board like a Raspberry PI.
I installed Armbian on it.
Then I installed the Mate desktop.
I cannot get Orca to work, but there are sounds like Orca is working, just 
not talking.
I have system sounds and espeak and espeak-ng work when tested.
And also, spd-say gives me an error.
It got installed in a non-usual location, in /usr/sbin.
I get the following error when running spd-say
lenny@pine64:~/speech-dispatcher-0.8.8$ spd-say test 
graphic 192 Failed to connect to Speech Dispatcher:

Error: Can't connect to unix socket 
/run/user/1000/speech-dispatcher/speechd.soc
k: No such file or directory. Autospawn: Autospawn failed. Speech Dispatcher 
refgraphic 545 used to start with error code, stating this as a reason:

So I downloaded speech-dispatcher from its site and put it into the user 
folder and unpacked it.
Can someone give me the steps for installing from these files?
I'll paste the contents of the unpacked .tar.gz file below.
I don't get the make command stuff.
Thanks.
