problems compiling FLite

[Stephen Clower]

Hi folks,
  A couple of days ago I decided to install the Speech Dispatcher package along with Speechdup for software speech access. I read that FLite was a necessary speech engine, so I downloaded the source packages and uncompressed the tarball to a FLite directory on my computer.  then changed to that directory, issued the ./configure command, and all went well. When I then typed "make all," the machine began compiling away. For about eight or nine minutes, the screen updated when new components were compiled, but at a particular point, the computer just sat there and the status quit updating. My hard disk even turned itself off due to inactivity. Unfortunately I was not able to get the exact line of the makefile where the compilation stopped, save for something about diphone.o and the -wall switch. If anyone has had compilation stalls like this, I'd be interested to know how they were resolved. Also, if I'm wasting my time with compiling something I don't need after all, please let me know. I have already got Festival and the Dectalk Software V5.01 installed.
Thanks,
Steve
