Re: Slackware 10.1 and Gnopernicus

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel shellworld net>]

I've got slackwaree 10.2 installed with free rock gnome and got festival 
built by hand and got the test-speech program to work some.  cal is the 
only available voice though I built more than that into festival.  This 
was with speech-tools 1.96 and festival 1.96.  At first test-speech still 
wouldn't work until I moved the binaries in workshop/festival/bin into 
/usr/bin which put them in the same directory as test-speech.  The edition 
of free rock gnome on this system is the current edition and when I run 
startx I turn speakup off and her the tones come over the speaker and then 
log in.  The disk runs for a little more then I try running gnopernicus 
and it's silent even after having bobrought cal up and selected 0 to exit 
out of test-speech before running startx.  I think I may have forgotten my 
gnome keyboard shortcuts.  f2 followed by gnopernicus and alt-f2 followed 
by gnopernicus and control-f2 followed by gnopernicus and shift-f2 
followed by gnopernicus all produce silence for a little bit but sometimes 
gnome reacts with what sounds like a dissonant error tone.  Ther may be 
dependencies missing or could be things I needed to do in text mode didn't 
get done.  But for now that's the status.
