Re: [orca-list] trying to get TTSynth installed on SuSE

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

I don't have much direct experience with Suse. However, Marco Skambraks
works for Suse in Germany and is responsible for much of their
accessibility, including Suse Blinux and their patch to support Orca
(posted here in the past few months). I've cc'd Marco on this email.

Marco wrote our ttsynth_say application, and he has a copy of TTSynth
1.0.

I am not sure about your libasound error, but I doubt it really is what
it appears on first blush. That library is provided by alsa-lib, which
I'm sure you must have.

Also, I presume you've installed compatibility for libstdc++ 2.96?
