spk2 0.0.1 Installation ... Step 1: Install IBM's ViaVoice Outloud Runtime Kit for Linux Step 2: Make sure the install works. Try running: /usr/lib/ViaVoiceOutloud/samples/cmdlinespeak/runcmdlinespeak and /usr/lib/ViaVoiceOutloud/samples/cmdlinespeak/runcmdlinespeakfile ...if these work, you've installed things properly and should be able to compile and use spk2 without any problems. (Note: Remember to set the ECIINI environment variable, as described in the documentation. See the runcmdlinespeak* scripts for more insight into how they work.) Step 3: If the binaries I've included don't work right away, make new ones: make spk2 make datespeak make pipespeak It's a very simple make file, so you may need or want to edit it for your own machine particulars. Step 4: Play with the binaries!
