Hi, I believe bill has already made some rpms of speakup, and put them on
the speakup site in the Phoebe directory.
However, here is the worl-wind quick guide to installing speakup from
source. Sorry, this is allot more complicated doing it from source.
First make sure the Red Hat kernel source is installed.
Then, get the speakup checkout script, and run it. It should patch the
kernel with the latest speakup.
Now, switch to the /usr/src/linux/ directory and run make config.
This is the part that is dificult. You are asked many questions about what
you want compiled, modulerized, etc. It is so extensive I can not possibly
explain it in the scope of this email.
Once make config is finished run make dep. This will do the dependancy
check.
Now, do make bzImage. This compiles your kernel.
Do a make modules which compiles the modules.
Assuming everything is compiled fine you are ready to install. Do not
attempt to install unless you are sure this has worked.
do a make modules_install and then make install.
