Re: [orca-list] Gnome-Speech and Cepstral Swift

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Steve:

If you haven't done so, you need to create an 
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/swift.conf with the following content:

# Swift default configuration
/opt/swift/lib

Then, run 'ldconfig'

This will tell applications, such as the swift-synthesis-driver for 
gnome-speech, where to find the shared libraries for Swift/Cepstral.
