Speakup on Debian 6.0 "squeeze"

[Øyvind Lode - Forums]

Hi:

Speakup were included in 2.6.37.
But Debian 6.0 ships with 2.6.32.

So I'll build and install from source then.
But I prefer to let APT handle all package management.
So I'll probably build my own Speakup DEB package from the source and install that .deb package with dpkg to keep it clean.

Thanks!

hello:
type uname-r.
If your kernel is higher than 2.6.38 (I believe is when speakup got 
included), you just need espeakup. If your kernel however is lower than 
2.6.38, you will need to build the modules yourself (which is a trivial 
process. I'll explain it below).
First, grab the speakup package from linux-speakup.org, and untar it in 
/usr/src
switch to the speakup/src directory, type make, then make modules_install.
If you get errors through make, you will probably need to install kernel 
headers:
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
HTH,
