Voxin - ibmtts with emacspeak

[David Ring <n1ea@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get Voxin going with emacspeak in a new installation of Debian Stable / Lenny.

I finally got it going with the generous help of this group - but now I've run into a problem that seems to be that one of the needed packages has been dropped from the Debian Package repository.

I haven't tried some of the other distros that might have the package (I just thought of this as I am typing this), but I will.  Places like Ubuntu, Mepis / AntiX, Sidux, and the usual suspects.

I tried to install voxin and I got this error message.  Do you have any idea where I can find the file?

Do you want to use the TTS with: Orca via Gnome-Speech.
If yes, press the y key and then ENTER.

E: Couldn't find package libgnome-speech

I also installed emacspeak_26.0-3+voxin3_i386.

deb in Debian Lenny.  I got emacspeak working but only with espeak, not the ibm/viavoice/outlook tts.

Thanks in advance for the help.

To those in the USA, best Thanksgiving wishes for tomorrow - for others the best Thursday wishes possible!
