If you look at the messages that autogen.sh gives you, near the end you will 
probably get:

checking for eciNew in -libmeci50... yes
checking for java... java
checking for javac... javac
checking for idlj... no

THE PROBLEM is that there is NO "idlj" in your PATH and probably neither in 
your system.

When you run the make, indeed, you will get the message:
make[2]: no: Command not found
make[2]: *** [org/GNOME/Speech/*.java] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/adi/2DO/temp/gnome-speech/java'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/adi/2DO/temp/gnome-speech'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

If so, you have to install java (I suggest J2SE 1.4.1) in order to have java, 
javac and idlj binaries needed for compiling the gnome-speech that is in the 
CVS.
Here is the link you may use:
	
	http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads.html

Note : I suggest you to download the self-extracting files. (they are very 
easy to use, you just have to execute them (Be sure that you have rights to 
execute them ;-) -> chmod a+x file_name))

After installing it be sure that you add in your PATH environment variable 
the absolut path where those binaries were installed.

eg for bash: $ export PATH=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin:$PATH 

Maybe it would a good ideea to add this to your go_gnome script (if you are 
using it to set your environment) or other script.
