The way I would suggest doing it is to grab the fink versions of those
libraries, examine the patch and info files if any, and build them that
way. I did this for building xpdf last night so I could have an pdftotext
that would ignore the ridiculous permission bits and let me read a PDF
whose textual content is impossible otherwise. I can try to help if you
need some--I'm a Mac user. My fledgling book reader is actually being
written on a Mac using Apple's Macintalk because it sounds way better than
Festival Lite, and I'm not ready to fork over cash for something better on
the Linux platform until I have something a little more complete to offer
people.
I've kinda abandoned the use of an emacspeak speech server in my own work
because I'm using a word callback to tell me approximately how far into
the buffer the thing has read when you hit the pause button. I haven't a
clue how to do that with the speech server model devised by Dr. Raman.
(Suggestions are welcome though since I could probably port my Intone API
to it pretty easily if there's a good way..)
