having various problems

[Kirk Reiser]

Okay folks I have been running into various problems either installing
speech dispatcher or compiling it.

First of all Hynek, on the speechd-up web page I couldn't find any
reference to the cvs module name so I had to download the tarball.  I
just thought you might want to know.

On the other hand I tried installing the speech-dispatcher debian
package on my machine at home and it quit with an error at the
configuration stage because it couldn't find libflite_cmu-us... I
don't remember the rest of the library name now but it looks to me
that possibly the flite package doesn't install those libraries or
there's a dependency problem with the package.

I have checked out the speechd module on a machine here but it is having
problems building the tools needed for compiling speech dispatcher.
Firstly the INSTALL document doesn't mention needing to have libtool
installed but my first attempt died because I didn't have it installed
on that machine.

The next set of errors I have a hunch are because there seems to be a
problem with cvs checking out.  I will include the output from an
update I did this morning but I saw the same errors when doing the
checkout yesterday but hadn't captured the output at that time.  I
will include the build.sh output below the cvs output but as I said
I'm pretty sure it's a result of not having the entire tree to work
with.
