RE: yasr debian and eflite
Michael,
I have made some progress.
I got speech-dispatcher running on my lenny system port 6560 espeak and alsa.
I grabbed the source package for yasr 0.6.8 from ubuntu intrepid and manually compiled the source ( i had to make a couple of small changes to yasr.h which I can pass along).
I tested speech-dispatcher by starting it as a daemon, and running:
$ spd-say "hello"
it spoke just fine.
I configured yasr to use speech dispatcher as the synthesizer and port 127.0.0.1:6560 as the port.
I next tried starting yasr by typing:
$ yasr
I get no errors, but yasr doesn't speak.
is there some way I can tell what is going wrong?
If I do:
$ ps -ef | grep -i 'yasr', I see yasr running on the same tty as my main login.
