Problems installing Festival 1.9.5 on Suse 9.3
Sorry for bothering you: I am trying to install the Festival RPM from the KDE Accessibility Project, but YAST does not show anything about the new Version. I am a bloody newbie to the Suse Installation System and therefore would like to ask you kindly for a hint on my installation problem. I am working on a Suse 9.3 Installation. Konqueror shows me a button 'Install Package with YAST' when I download the RPM from http:// accessibility.kde.org/developer/kttsd/index.php, but when I click on that button YAST shows me only the old Version 1.4.3 from the Suse- Repository.. Please, how can I point Yast towards the new RPM? Thank you for your cooperation, Marc Scheib (mailto:marc(at)mindbomb.de)
Hi Marc, try this: - start yast (root password) - click "change installation source" - click add - write the location where you downloaded the source (RPM) - click end Try to install your soft again, yast should now be able to find it! Have a nice day Stefano Marc Scheib ha scritto:

Thank You for trying to help Stefano. I tried your Step-by-Step instructions, but Yast did not accept my newly entered source of installation :( I selected FTP as the protocol entered Server Name: ftp.kde.org entered Directory on Server: pub/kde/unstable/apps/KDE3.x/accessibility Anonymous Authentication was alright on the ftp.kde.org server, so I just left that option checked. This is the Error Message I receive: Unable to create installation source from URL 'ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/ kde/unstable/apps/KDE3.x/accessibility/'. Details: ERROR (InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media) What else can I do? Any Clues? Is there a way to install RPMs without engaging YAST? cheerio Marc On 29.08.2005, at 10:17, Stefano Kueng wrote:

Download the rpm to your home folder, open up a shell then su to root and do rpm -Uvh fest*.rpm Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.11.4-21.8-default x86_64 SuSE Linux 9.3 (x86-64)

Hi Marc, Is this the package you're trying to install?
As a temporary service to the community, we are making the following SuSE RPMs available for the latest Festival speech engine. Once RPMs are more widely available, these will be removed from ftp.kde.org. Maintained by Jorge Luis Arzola (arzolacub at gmail dot com). These packages work with SuSE 9.2 or SuSE 9.1. They might work with SuSE 9.0, but that has not been tested.
festival-1.95beta-2.i586.rpm 7.4 MB Festival Speech Engine plus American Male voice (kal).

- write the location where you downloaded the source (RPM) means that you downloaded the rpm file into a directory (for example: /user/marc) then choose "LOCAL DIRECTORY" and write "/user/marc" and NOT
Hi Marc, I saw that you finded now another solution, it's good. For the next time -if you want- you can do as I wrote, but the ftp install. ;-) Using "rpm -Uvh fest*.rpm" is the same as running yast (Yast is more user-friendly, the command line is more professional.
