trying to get speech working with slackware 9.1

Title: Message

I am trying to get the speech to work with slackware 9.1 in gnopernicus.  This version of slackware comes bundled

with gnopernicus 0.7.0, gnome speech and all of it's dependencies, supposedly.  I can start up gnopernicus and the

magnifier and braille seem to work ok, but when i go into the # 1 option for startup mode in gnopernicus, the speech

option says it is unavailable.  I figured the first thing I should check is if Gnome Speech is working correctly...but

after searching through the directories on the system, I have yet to find it.  Can anyone give me an idea of where I should

be checking for gnome speech.  Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!  I am a linux newbie and getting a bit

frustrated!   Replies can be sent directly to ameravi njffb org  or to the list.

 

Thanks in advance,
