I have not worked that much with repositories in the passed, but I know what it is. Any help would be apreciated, many thanks. Christian

I first look in the normal repositories via yast2. If not there, the primary place to look is

http://software.opensuse.org/search which searches the full build service.

Unfortunately BRLTTY is not found there either.

Looking at its home page, the compile is very straight forward.

tar -xzf brltty-release.tar.gz cd brltty-release ./configure make make install

If your not comfortable doing that, I might volunteer to put it on the opensuse build service for you.

Public projects have to be approved, but I can't imagine this one not being accepted.

The Norcross Group The Intersection of Evidence & Technology http://www.norcrossgroup.com -- I have also tried that, but there are still dependency issues. That's what I first tried. BRLTTY seems to be in most distibutions repositories, so it's very strange that it's not in opensuse.

You don't need to compile it, though the rpms are for redhat they works just fine. Install speechd (available in suse repositories) and brlapi from the brltty site. -- Kind Regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
