gnome problems under slackware

[Gregory Nowak]

One more thing I forgot to mention is that I don't have festival or
anything like that installed, since I assumed that was part of the
gnome-speech package.

When I run test-speech, I get:

1: OAFIID:GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival:proto0.2
 

When I hit 1, I get :
Atempting to activate
OAFIID:GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival:proto0.2.

Then, I just get my standard bash prompt. I assume that means that
things worked. If this isn't correct, and I need to install festival,
then is there a slackware package somewhere for it, or am I going to
need to build it from source?
Thanks.

Greg
