problem compiling speakup modules on vibuntu 1.2

[Kitty Litter]

I tried compiling speakup modules on vibuntu 1.2 with
apt-get update
apt-get install speakup-source
which brought in all kinds of stuff,
then module-assistant prepare and then
module-assistant -t auto-install speakup.
The -t is for text mode so it won't go to the GUI in module-assistant.
All went well till line 492 of main.c. Wondering if anyone else has gotten 
this to work? The  file main.c had date in May 2008 so was wondering if 
there was a later speakup-source. Can anyone help this poor old windows user 
out?
