Installing speech-dispatcher in OpenSuSE

Hello all,

I tried this a while ago but had no joy.  Hopefully I'll get
further with
it this time.

Firstly, the error I'm getting while trying to run spd-say
is as follows: 
client:  speech dispatcher failed to open: connection
refused.


The festival server is running.  I was able to telnet to
it.
speech-dispatcher is running.  I ran it with the -d option.
It is creating logs in /var/log/speech-dispatcher.
I've changed /usr/local/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf
so the default
module is festival.
I've installed the Festival freebsoft utils.   At least, I
hope I did.  I
coppied the required file extensions over to the festival
directory.
/usr/share/festival/

Do you have any ideas as to why this isn't working for me?

Thanks

Here is a breakdown of the process so far.

yast -i dotconf
wget
http://www.freebsoft.org/pub/proje
cts/speechd//speech-dispatcher-0.6rc2.tar.gz
wget
http://www.fre
ebsoft.org/pub/projects/festival-freebsoft-utils/festival-fr
eebsoft-utils-0.8.tar.gz
tar xzvf festival*
tar xzvf speech-dispatcher*
cd festival*
cp *.scm* /usr/share/festival/
cd ..
cd speech-dispatcher*
./configure
make
make install
cd
wget
http://www.freebsoft.org/pub/projects/spee
chd-up/speechd-up-0.4.tar.gz tar
xzvf speechd-up*
./configure
make
make install
ldconfig
/etc/init.d/festival start
chkconfig -add festival
mkdir /var/log/speech-dispatcher
speech-dispatcher -d
edit /usr/local/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf
extract from help documentation:
Go to `/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf' or similar (it
might be
`/usr/local/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf' if you
install from
sources) and edit the lines AddModule, DefaultModule and
LanguageDefaultModule for your chosen synthesizer. If you
want to run
Festival, just substitute 'Flite' for 'Festival' in the last
two options.

spd-say "hello world"
Fails with error.


Thanks


Darragh

Did you install flite and Festival correctly?
What's the result of:
whereis flite
and
whereis festival
Is the Festival server running?
ps aux |grep festival
Where's Espeak?
What happens, if you abort SD and start the Festival speech
interface by 
typing:
festival
A prompt should appear, where you type:
help
You get messages how to test the speech, please follow
them.
If everything seems to be right, check the flite.conf and
festival.conf 
for the proper setup.

Ok, that's interesting.  I assumed that as I'm using
festival as my
synthesizer.... for the moment, I didn't need Flite.

I've since gone and installed flite 1.3.  I think this is
the latest version?

configure and make ran perfectly however I'm getting an
error very quickly
after running make install.

make: lib. no such file or directory.
Interesting.  Doesn't really tell me where I should be
looking.

Any ideas?   I'll keep looking around.

Does Festival work without Speech-dispatcher?

If Festival is not running, I would prefer to make it work.
Flite is the 
small version of Festival and it's less configurable.

What's the Suse like command to:
apt-get build-dep flite
Something with yast ..., so check this out.
