1 Hi all,
2
3 Just downloaded the current Gentoo minimal cd
4 (install-x86-minimal-20100126.iso) and tried
5 gentoo speakup.synth=soft
6 I still didn't get any speech, but I found "speaker-test" and "espeak
7 hi" worked perfectly. I also tried this:
8 find / -type f -name "speakup*" | espeak --stdin
9 And the speakup kernel modules weren't in the list (although there was
10 a speakup ebuild and speakupconf). Another thing I tried was
11 espeakup 2> /dev/stdout | espeak --stdin
12 and got "unable to open the softsynth device: no such file or
13 directory." So it seems the speakup tools are there, but speakup
14 itself isn't.

16 Hope this helps somehow.
