Hello Hermann, thank you for answering my question. Obviously there are different ways to solve the problem and I am not quite sure which is the easier way. Anyway, I started trying to build gnome-speech 0.4.10 from the sources but, since I'm not very experienced in building software from source code, I haven't been successful yet. When I execute the ./configure script it terminates with following error: checking for ORBIT... configure: error: Package requirements (ORBit-2.0
= 2.3.94) were not met:
No package 'ORBit-2.0' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ORBIT_CFLAGS and ORBIT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. How can I solve this problem?

Hello Jochen, you must use Espeak either with Speech-Dispatcher or with the Gnome speech driver; Espeak as a stand allone version doesn't work with Orca, neither Edgy nore Feisty. For Espeak and Speech-dispatcher look here: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/SpeechDispatcher For the use with Gnome speech driver you must install the latest version - 0.4.10 - from the Gnome source page. To prepare Espeak to be used within the system, do the following: Change to your Espeak directory and type: sudo cp -rp espeak-data /usr/share cd shared_library sudo cp *.h /usr/include/espeak Note: If the directory doesn't exist, create it. sudo cp libespeak* /usr/lib sudo ldconfig cd /usr/lib sudo ln -s libespeak.so.1.1.21 libespeak.so sudo ln -s libespeak.so.1.1.21 libespeak.so.1 I assume you use the latest Espeak; if not adjust the above commands accordingly. To adjust the Speech-Dispatcher config files, visit: http://www.blindzeln.net/pipermail/pinguin/ select the archive for November 06 and read my two mails from the 24th of Nov.
