Hey all,

I am the new owner of a nokia n810, and so far I am very impressed. I have been playing around with gps, and using maemo-mapper.

My question is, how do I install flite? As far as I understand, flite is required to read directions to you. I am running diablo, and have the maemo extras repository enabled, but I can't find flite via applications manager. Does this have to be installed via apt?

Andrew

From the IT, go to this page and add the repos you want (including flite which is in
http://repository.maemo.org/extras/) refresh the apps and it should be listed

I have that repository enabled, however I still can't find flite.

The only programs I can see that might be similar is "espeak". Is there a way to confirm that flite is in the repository (http://repository.maemo.org/extras/)?

Andrew

I've also been unable to get flite installed, despite having the Maemo Extras repository enabled. I suspect the problem is that we are running Diablo.

i've downloaded flite from here:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p.../free/f/flite/
and installed it with appllications manager's "install from file" (or dpkg -i).
i have diablo and this repository is for chinook, but it works.

That worked for me. Thanks!
