emacspeak with the accent driver

emacspeak with the accent driver

[Nick Allan]

Hi all
I'm attempting to use the accent sa driver for emacspeak and can't seem to
get it working.  I hve an artic transport on com2 with the emacspeak 8.0
rpm from the ftp.leb.net site.  I've
export DTK_PROGRAM=dtk-accent
export DTK_PORT=/dev/ttyS1

The readme file for the accent driver said to test the driver do "tcl
dtk-accent" this worked perfectly. but when I try to run "emacspeak" I
don't get any speech at all.
I do get an error 
cannot open doc string file "/usr/share/emacs/20.2/etc/DOC-20.2.1"

does anyone have any suggestions for me? I'm using redhat 5.1 if that
makes any difference.

thanks in advance for any help.

Have you checked to varify the existance of this file?  Did you install
*all* of emacs?  Does emacs work when you run it by itself?

It sounds like the driver works just fine but you have some sort of problem
with the emacs install.

Yeah, the folks at redhat screwed up the emacs rpms but they have
since released an update.

Hi, there is an erata update for emacs 20.2 in red hat 5.1 that is
supposed to fix a problem with /usr/share... You might want to give that a
try: http://www.redhat.com/support/

get the update for emacs from ftp.redhat.com/pub/updates/5.1/ (or
something similar if that's not exactly it)

Nick -

Note that you should install dtk-accent in the emacspeak home
directory, which is probably /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/
If emacspeak is installed correctly, you should find dtk-exp and
dtk-mv there already.
