[Emacspeak] Re: Mac OS Monterey upgrade causes emacspeak to not load

[Victor Tsaran <vtsaran@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Also, even after you update your Emacspeak repository.

Depending on which Python3 installation you are using, you might need to install a pyobjc-framework-cocoa package which includes a wrapper for the Foundation framework needed by the Mac speech server.

Simply use "pip install pyobjc-framework-cocoa" command to install the package.

You also need to ensure that Python3 is in your path, otherwise, the server script will complain.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jeff,

Have you tried doing `make clean` and then `make emacspeak` on the latest git version? Also, David just submitted a patch to make the Mac speech server work on MacOS 12.3+, so do a `git pull` before running make, too.

Let me know how it goes.

Best,

Parham

Hello,

My name is Jeff Dittel and I use emacspeak everyday on my job as a senior software engineer. I have a serious problem because emacspeak is no longer working.

I recently upgraded my Mac to Monterey 12.31, and when I start emacs the init.el file crashes at the line:

(load-file "~/Sources/emacspeak-master/emacspeak-master/lisp/emacspeak-setup.elâ??)

The â??emacs â??debug-initâ?? command gives the following output:

Can someone help fix the emacspeak-setup.el file?
