Re: gnopernicus speech synthesisis

Yes, either one can be used, in fact, ViaVoice will be used by default 
if it's installed.  If you install FreeTTS or ViaVoice after you've built 
gnome-speech, which is required by Gnoeprnicus, you'll have to rebuild 
gnome-speech so the build process detects ViaVoice.

FreeTTS is a bit more complicated.  It requires j2sdk 1.4.1 installed, and 
requires that the j2sdk1.4.1 versions of the java binaries are in your 
path:

export PATH=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1/bin:$PATH

Then you have to tell it where the FreeTTS jar files are with the 
--with-freetts-dir configuration option:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt;/gnome-2.4 
--with-freetts-dir=/home/marc/FreeTTS/lib

That should get you started.
