Here's what I've done to get the gnome-speech driver for DECtalk
working on Fedora Core 3:
1) DECtalk installs itself into /usr/local. This means that
the system library loader needs to search /usr/local/lib
for shared libraries. I *thought* Fedora tended to do this
by default via /etc/ld.so.conf, but I find that I need to
explicitly set my "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib".
2) Some usually goes awry with my DECtalk install and I tend
to create /usr/include/dtk as a symbolic link to the include
directory that comes with the DECtalk runtime.
3) I run "./autogen --prefix=/usr". Dang the torpedos, full
speed ahead. :-)
4) After doing a make and make install, I run
/usr/bin/dectalk-synthesis-driver by hand to make sure it
works. More often than not, I discover libtts.so cannot
be found because I forgot to set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
update /etc/ld.so.conf.
Can you try running /usr/bin/dectalk-synthesis-driver to see if
it runs (a success means that it just quietly sits there and
doesn't exit). If it runs, the next thing to try is to keep it
running and then try test-speech from a different window. If
all that works, then you probably need to tell Fedora to look in
/usr/local/lib for additional shared libraries.

Willie,
I am using fedora core 3 (speakup version) kernel 2.6.11-1.14_spk_smp.
I used the command configure to configure gnome-speech, and did a
make then make install.
Do I need to pass some specific parameters to the configure?

Hi Don:
What was the command you used to build gnome-speech? In addition,
did you do a "make install"? Finally, what OS distribution are
you using?

Hello,
I have the fonix dectalk speech synthesizer version 5.0, and have
tried recompiling gnome-speech 0.3.6 to allow meto use the dectalk
voices.
When I view the make log, I see that the dectalk synthesizer is
built, but when I run test-speech, the dectalk is not listed.
I have tested the dectalk using the say application and it is
functional.
Any suggestions?
