[BRLTTY] brltty-3.9 libspeechd dependency

[Donald Raikes]

Hello,

I am using oracle enterprise linux 5.0.0.1, and want to update both brltty and orca to relatively current builds.

When I try to install brltty-3.9-1.i386.rpm, it gives me an error saying libspeechd is required.

Where can I get an rpm for speech-dispatcher?  I tried yum to update from the fc8 core and development repositories but it didn't find libspeechd anywhere.

Can you please show us brltty's logs so that we can see what's not working. 
The best way to collect brltty's logs is to add these options:

   -ldebug -e 2>/path/to/brltty.log

>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib

If Speech Dispatcher is in /usr then you don't need to do that as /lib and 
/usr/lib are always in the library search path.

>undefined reference to `logf'

That's due to a missing -lm link option. Speech Dispatcher used to pick up libm 
(the math functions library) but no longer does so brltty either needs to add 
-lm or stop using logf(). I'll look into this.
