I tried compiling speakup modules on vibuntu 1.2 with
apt-get update
apt-get install speakup-source
which brought in all kinds of stuff,
then module-assistant prepare and then
module-assistant -t auto-install speakup.
The -t is for text mode so it won't go to the GUI in module-assistant.
All went well till line 492 of main.c. Wondering if anyone else has gotten 
this to work? The  file main.c had date in May 2008 so was wondering if 
there was a later speakup-source. Can anyone help this poor old windows user 
out?

You need to pull the latest Speakup source from git, change to the src 
directory under where you created the git pull and run:

make modules
make modules_install

It's still necessary to at least have build-essential and 
module-assistant to make sure you pull in all needed dependencies such 
as the full gcc, kernel headers, etc.  You could also try ftp to a 
Debian mirror and getting the latest unstable Speakup source .deb 
package and installing it manually.  That should still work with m-a, 
but sometimes I've noticed that m-a wants to download the source 
anyway.  Note that none of this is for Ubuntu and hasn't been tested on 
anything but Debian Lenny and unstable.
