Re: Problems installing DECTALK



Tom,
 
Yes the say program works fine. I dropped the --with-dectalk flag, and the autogen did pick up the dectalk automatically.
 
Now, however, when I try test-speech, although both dectalk and festival are listed, neither one will work they both generate a "no server selected" error.
TIA,

Hi, does the Dectalk Software speech work when you use the test program called say?
Fonix should have supplied you with a program called say which you can enter gtext into and have it read back to you.
If this works then we can determain the dectalk software is installed properly and is working.
As far as Dectalk drivers not getting compiled this sounds like a configuration error. I have never had to specify the dectalk flag in order for configure to locate and compile my dectalk drivers.
Try dropping the dectalk flags that you passed to configure and see if configure picks it up on it's own.
Hth.

Hi Tom et al,
 
I am trying to install gnome-speech with dectalk on redhat advanced server 3.0.
 
I have a gnome-2.4 installatinon which I had tarred from another system. I installed the dectalk32 drivers successfully, but when I compile gnome-speech-0.3.0, with the --with-dectalk-dir option, the autogen output says that the dectalk drivers were not built.
 
If I run tet-speech, I see a dectalk driver, but if I try to select it, I get no driver selected.
 
I copied the dectalk driver .so files to /usr/lib as you reccommended.
 
Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Hi, I had the exact problem on Mandrake 9.2. I fsolved the problem by copying the Dectalk libs from the Dectalk installer into /usr/lib and the problem went away.

Hello all,
I am attempting to set up dec speech on a system running Fedora, and am encountering a problem.
First, i ran the dec installer, and it seemed to install with no problems.  Then, I  rebuilt and installed Gnome-speech-0.2.7.  When I configured it, I used the --prefix=/usr and --sysconfdir=/etc options.
According to configure, both the dec and festival drivers were built, and when I run test-speech, that fact appears to be confirmed. The Festival server tests out okay; however, I get the following output if I attempt to select the dec server: 
 

1: OAFIID:GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Dectalk:proto0.2
2: OAFIID:GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival:proto0.2
 
Select a server: 1
Atempting to activate OAFIID:GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Dectalk:proto0.2.
No server selected.
 
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?
 
Thanks,
 
--Al
