Trouble getting speakup-0.09 to work with RH6.2

Trouble getting speakup-0.09 to work with RH6.2

[David Robinson]

I downloaded the new spekaup-0.09 for linux.  I'm using Red Hat Linux 6.2
and I copied the speakup-0.09-v2.3-patch to the /usr/src directory.  I
used the patch -p0<speakup-0.09-v2.3-patch and I got the following errors

1 out of 1 hunk ignored
patching file linux/maintainers
hunk succeeded at 809 with fuzz 2 (offset 186 lines)
can't find  file to patch at input line 587
perhaps you used the wrong -p or --string option
enter the file to patch:

I don't know what to do after I get these errors.  I have the patch-2.5
for patching files to the kernel.  I've read the installation file and
before you compile the kernel your supose to use the patch command to
patch the files to the kernel but I can't get past the patch command.
After I did the patch command I tried to compile the kernel and I didn't
see andthing prompting me about speakup.  What am I doing wrong with the
patch command.  Can some one help out to get speakup us and running?

Dave -
You must include the directory name where the patch file is located as
well as the name of the file. The form should be:

patch -p0 < patchdirname/patchfilename

Give that a spin and see what happens.

Hi Dave

Redhat 6.2 does not use a 2.3.x or 2.4.x kernel by default.  If you want
to use one that is ok.  However the speakup support for them is a little
bit broken right now.  Kirk has a bunch of us testing them out but it's
not quite there yet.  

I would get a fresh 2.2.15 kernel from
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernels/v2.2/linux-2.2.15.tar.bz2.  Then
use the speakup-0.09-v2.2-patch file in the tarball.  

You had the sintax right.
patch -p0 <'directory/'filename

Good luck.  And if you have any more questions just feel free to ask.

Frank

Hi:

You are using the wrong patch.  The v2.2 and v2.3 refer to kernel
versions.  You will want to use the one for kernel version 2.2 because,
presumably, that's what you've got.

Geoff.
