Re: trying to get speech working with slackware 9.1

Hi Andrew
You will very likely have to re-compile gnome-speech, as Slackware's 
gnome-speech doesn't have any other drivers compiled other than festival. I 
suggest you go to the Slackware FTP site, and grab the tarball and the 
build script for gnome-speech, and use that.
