Hello Nath,

Here's where I am so far: someone suggested off-list that I start
with garnome-0.27.1, which represents a stable version of Gnome 2.4,
whereas garnome-0.29.1 is more "bleeding edge" Gnome 2.5.2.

garnome-0.27.1 has gnopernicus-0.7.0 and gnome-speech-0.2.7.  These
compiled for me and worked with my existing festival.

I then upgraded to gnopernicus-0.7.1 and gnome-speech-0.2.8, which also
worked.

Both these versions give me some of the same freeze-up problems that
others have mentioned.  Some of the problems are listed in the
bugzilla and may be fixed in CVS at least.

I haven't yet been able to get gnopernicus-0.7.3 to work with
festival.  It seems to require a newer version of at-spi, and possible
other dependencies like libgail-gnome.  So I've posed a related question
on the accessibility-devel list.

Why not?  If you do this:
	cd garnome-src/gnome/gnome-speech/work/main.d/gnome-speech-0.x.y
	./configure --with-dectalk-dir=/usr/local

Do you get an error?
