hi all.
I just saw this message from Luke Yelavich
in the ubuntu accessibility mailing list. I would like to know if this has been fixed, or if it has a work around, as I am thinking of getting ttsynth: ------
Greetings all.
I am writing to inform you all, that as of Ubuntu Hardy 8.04, to be released in April next year, the Ttsynth/Ibmtts speech synthesizer will no longer work, due to a library that it depends on, having been removed from the Ubuntu archives. This library was a left over piece from the gcc 2.95 and glibc 2.2 toolchain, that was kept in ubuntu for compatibility reasons. It is actually a wonder that it has stayed around this long. I appreciate the fact that there are many of you out there that use this synth daily, however this decision was out of my hands, and it is a matter for the vendors to sort out. I would encourage users of this synth to contact the vendor from which you purchased your license, to ask them for a proper resolution to this issue. The library that ttsynth/ibmtts currently depends on is libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2, which is the library that was removed from Ubuntu hardy. Thanks in advance for your understanding. - - -- All the best,
