Re: Compiling Gnome-Speech with FreeTTS.

When you unzip the FreeTTS 1.2.1 installation, it will create a  
directory
called "lib".  You need to pass this directory to the configure script
using the --with-freetts-dir switch.  For example:

  --with-freetts-dir=/home/wwalker/freetts-1.2.1/lib

You should also use the JDK from Sun that is available for your  
platform.
Specify it using the --with-java-home switch.  For example:

  --with-java-home=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01

You will also need to set the pointer to your java access bridge  
using the
--with-jab-dir switch.  For example:

  -with-jab-dir=/usr/share/jar

If you do not have the java access bridge installed, you will  
probably need
to build/install it as well:

msg00051.html

Finally, though it can be dangerous, you're probably best off using
--prefix=/usr.

You should be able to easily retrace your steps and get the error  
message.
For example, just rename your current gnome-speech workspace to  
something
else and start over.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.  As far as I know, no such link
between the two exists, but I could be wrong.
