> Hi folks,
>   I have installed the Dectalk software, and I am trying to get the
Emacspeak server set up to work with it so I can use the Dectalk with
Speakup. I have verified that the Dectalk software synthesizer is working by
typing in a few lines to the say demo program. However, when I attempt to
install the software-dtk RPM from the Emacspeak website, I get dependency
errors for libtts.so, libtts_us.so, etc, which are all installed libraries
provided by the software dectalk. Even if I try to install the RPM with
the --nodeps option, I get errors saying that TCL libraries are missing.
Again, I have installed the TCL and TCLX libraries but there's some kind of
version conflict.
>   Finally, because I can't get the software-dtk rpm installed, Emacspeak
can't find software-dtk/*.so files which it needs to run. I have added the
/usr/lib and /usr/local/lib paths to the /etc/lib.so.conf and have run
ldconfig.
> I am running the current Fedora Core beta, so if anyone has had success
using Dectalk software with Emacspeak in this distribution, please get in
touch with me.
