Re: [orca-list] orca and Hardy - no speech - ibmTTS dependancy

["Paul Hunt" <huntp ukonline co uk>]

Hi,

I've been trying to get ttsynth to work on Hardy as well.  Although in my 
case I installed Hardy from the live CD.

I downloaded ttsynth from the website and tried installing but it failed 
because of the library you mention.  Simply installing 
libstdc++2.10.glibc2.2 didn't do it.  I needed to (manually) download and 
install gnome-speech-ibmtts (got it from the debian website) but this failed 
because of dependancy problems.  Running "apt-get -f install" fixed most of 
them but I still needed to download and install libgnome-speech-dev (again 
from debian) to continue.  This failed to install however because of some 
kind of conflict with the test-speech package also being part of another 
already installed package, gnome-speech7 or something.

Dunno if this is relevant to your problem if you had ttsynth working on 
Gutsy (and test-speech works for you) because I can't get ttsynth to talk at 
all in Hardy.

Paul
