errors when installing speakup.

Hi Jeremy,
I am not sure where Toby gets his ideas about Redhat being so 
drastically different from his favorite distribution, but it seems you 
did not have the source code for your kernel installed.  If you had, you 
most assuredly would have seen a linux directory when you were in 
/usr/src.  Unless you have a specific reason for building your kernel 
though you can ftp to bumpy.braille.uwo.ca and go to the directory 
/pub/speakup/disks/redhat/7.2/kernel and download the binary rpm.  Or as 
somebody suggested you could try the 7.3 rpms.  Make sure though that if 
you try the 7.3 kernel and you want to try alsasound, you use the 7.3 
alsasound.  Alsa is kernel dependent!
