	Fine; I suggest you use gnome-speech and festival. To make that work
you need to build and install gnome-speech [ probably in the /usr
prefix, or face some interesting times getting activation right ].

	Then it should 'just work', oh, although you need to run the
festival_server first for gnome-speech to work.

	What errors ? can you post them, so we can help ?

	The default window is minimised for gnopernicus at startup - to avoid
confusion, if you're running Gnome, add the 'task bar' applet to the
panel, and you can click on the app to bring it back [ an interesting
design choice IMHO ].

	Secondly, if you want to see the brail stuff without having a braille
device, you can use 'brlmonitor' and plug in the port number in the
gnopernicus device configuration to get it to give an on-screen display
of what the braile display would show.

	HTH,

		Michael.
