thanks for all the help with speak freely, but still having problem

[Igor Gueths]

Hi all. I successfully compiled the binaries it seems, however, during
make install, I get the following strange error:

	Strip: /usr/local/bin/sfvod: file format not recognized.
/usr/bin/install: strip failed.
Make: install error 1. I'll check the install makefile and see if I can
find something that I can possibly relate to this error. But does anyone
have any ideas in case I might be going at this error the wrong way?
Thanks for all the help so far!

Hi Igor,
Somewhere within the make file they are issuing the strip command that 
strips out debugging information from executables.  This makes the file 
considerably shorter, sometimes dramatically so.  For some reason your 
strip command is not recognizing the format of the executable file: 
sfvod.  Hopefully, somebody else can tell you why.  Try 'file 
/usr/local/bin/sfvod' without the apostrophes of course.  If you get 
something like:
elf32 binary executable
you should be okay.

Hi Jim. I figured out what the problem was. By the way, thanks for telling
me about the file command! I guess you learn something every day. I
realized that sfvod is actually a perl script according to file, so I just
changed the permissions. I also didn't realize that the rest of the
binaries were installed.

hi. I didn't run "make install" because I got the same error. I just copied the
executables from the program line by hand.

Hi Cheryl. I got Speakfreely built, but am still working on the fact that
my alsa beta11 driver and modprobe aren't getting along so well right now.
