Re: Problem with running festival driver for gnome-speech

[Aditya Pandey <aditya kumar pandey gmail com>]

Ok, I think the easiest solution forward is to compile gnome-speech myself.

I have compiled gnome-speech and on compilation there is no warning (I
have used the steps mentioned in the INSTALL text file given in the
tarball).
After compilation, I again use test-speech, and this time it does not
show any servers (it should have just shown festival, as its binary is
in user's path, and has to be installed by default). Since
GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival.server is in
/usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers instead of /usr/lib/bonobo/servers due
to compilation instead of rpm installation route,  so created softlink
as well, next added  the /usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers itself in path.


But, test-speech does not show any servers now. So I am stuck more ---
now I dont have any servers in test-speech. But when I run
festival-synthesis-driver, it does not show any error or output
message and continues to run (I think this is what is expected).

Please help/guide.

This is a bit strange since libbonobo and ORBit2 are 'standard' parts of the GNOME desktop and are required by things other than accessibility...
