Gnopernicus Fedora and Festival

[S Shaikh sussex ac uk (Saqib Shaikh)]

HI

I recently installed Fedora.  I selected to have the Gnome desktop option
installed.

Surprisingly, I found that Gnopernicus and Gnome-speech were not installed,
despite these being part of Gnome 2.4 - oh well.

So, I installed the following packages in this order:
Gnome-speech-devel
Gnome-speech
Gnopernicus

Then, I installed Festival from the CDs, as it wasn't installed by default.
I installed the following packages:
Festival-devel
Festival

I tested Festival and it works (indicating that my sound card also works).

Now when I run Gnopernicus there is no speech.  Just the main window
appearing.  When I click on preferences, all the buttons are grayed out
(e.g. Speech, Braille, etc).  How do I make Gnopernicus recognise Festival
and use it to talk?  So near yet so far!

I should mention that all this was done by a sighted friend.

Thanks, Saqib
