[orca-list] Really Bizarre issue with Voxin

["Chris Gilland" <cgilland1 carolina rr com>]

Here is one thing I wonder, and maybe you all can explain this, about Vinux 
vs. Wubi/Ubuntu 10.04.

I can install in Vinux, my copy of Voxin, and it works perfectly.  But!  If 
I install in Ubuntu 10.04, or in Wubi, it installs fine! but then Orca won't 
see it nor let me switch to it.  O yeah, I did edit both the speechd.conf 
files.  I'm not doing anything wrong, at least that I know of.

Also, I know that the Vinux DVD won't let me run Voxin after it's installed 
either, where as the 3.0 CD-R that was like 690 or so MB for the ISO that 
used to be up there works fine.  I just wonder if something has changed 
between Vinux and UBuntu, or maybe some extra libraries were put in Vinux 
that're not in Lucid directly.  I know Voxin is an older synth and some 
people've told me you're lucky if you even can get it to work at all, but, I 
really don't get why the Vinux DVD vs. the Vinux CD-R ISO would be different 
when they're both! based on Lucid, and why UBuntu Lucid, as well as the wubi 
install both won't let me install it.  Heck! I can't even get Festival to 
work. It sees it after uncommenting it, but there is no speech output, and 
yes Festival was installed.  I did check.

I can't even get the SVox voices to work after modifying the conf file and 
adding the generic module.  So, I'm kind a confused.  Is it just I dono what 
I'm doing? or is it it more there are some library differences.  What in 
full UBuntu or full Wubi do I need to get that like the old Vinux 3.0 CD-R, 
would make Voxin work?
