Re: [Audyssey] Installing On Linux was Re: Cross- Platform Monopoly and Uno
Hi Kelly, Hmmm...It looks to me like you are missing the Python setup tools. That's why the shell is giving you a command not found error message. No biggy let's fix that right now. To install the latest Python setup tools open gnome-terminal and type this command at the terminal prompt. sudo apt-get install python-setuptools Once you have the Python setup tools installed you will have to download pyttsx-1.0.egg from the PyTTSX homepage which is http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyttsx Once you have downloaded the generic pyttsx python package cd to the directory where you downloaded the package to. For example, in the terminal window cd ~/Downloads would open the default downloads directory on Ubuntu 1.04. Now, you should be able to run sudo easy_install pyttsx-1.0.egg and it should install and configure pyttsx for you. Now, as for installing he rsg client it doesn't have to be installed. You can simply unzip it to your home directory and run it locally from there. For example, assuming rsg-client-linux.zip is in your local Downloads directory you can run this command to extract the files from the terminal. unzip ~/Downloads/rsg-client-linux.zip ~/ If successful it will create a directory called rsg-client-linux in your home directory. To run the game do a cd ~/rsg-client-linux/linux to open the program directory. Now, type python rsg.pyc to run the client within a terminal window. That's all there is to it. As for getting and installing other software voices for Linux two of the most popular are Eloquence, called Voxin for Linux, and the Software Dectalk. Cepstral also has ported most of their voices to Linux as well. So there are certainly several high quality voices out there for Linux. However, the problem you are going to find is that most Linux developers are reluctant to support these commercial voices directly because of licensing issues between open source and commercial software. Therefore something like Ubuntu doesn't come with the necessary drivers for Cepstral, Dectalk, or Eloquence by default. So what you have to do is a long and complicated process to get everything installed, compiled, and working. You'd start by purchasing the Software Dectalk or Voxin, and installing that. After that, you could use the say command to test and make sure the software engine you installed is working. Then, you need to install emacs, emacspeak, and then compile the emacspeak software tts drivers for your synth. Once that is done you need to edit a few setting files to configure emacspeak for that software tts engine. At last you need to reconfigure setup, run the Orca setup again, to reconfigure it for the emacspeak drivers instead of the default ESpeak/speech-dispatcher defaults. So I guess a lot depends on how much you want to switch to a commercial speech engine. If you do it takes a good half-hour or so to get everything setup correctly, and I personally find it something of a pain. However, I do think it is worth it as Eloquence or Dectalk are generally superior to any of the free voices out there like ESpeak, Festival, or FreeTTS.

Re: [Audyssey] Installing On Linux was Re: Cross-Platform Monopoly and Uno
Hi Kelly, Well, you used the correct shell command, but gave apt-get an invalid package name. So you had the right idea, but unfortunately Ryan didn't give any details on what packages you need for a specific Linux distribution like Ubuntu. Fortunately as I am also a Ubuntu 10.04 user I happen to know how to install those dependencies. So here is how to get the dependencies for the RS Games client installed. Before I start it might help to note that when it comes to any Python specific package Ubuntu has a habit of prefixing any Python package with the word python at the beginning such as python-pygame. So in a case like this running apt-get install pygame would fail because you need to provide apt-get with the full package name such as python-pygame. So with that said lets move on with the install. In a case like this I would prefer to use the Ubuntu Software Manager as it is a graphical installer and allows you to browse for the packages, and doesn't force you to know the specific package names. However, as you have indicated you are a new user, probably haven't used the graphical Ubuntu Software Manager, I'll stick with apt-get since that is something you know already and is more accessible. So open gnome-terminal and at the terminal screen install these packages in this order. sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 sudo apt-get install python-wxtools sudo apt-get install wx2.8-i18n sudo apt-get install python-pygame sudo easy_install pyttsx If everything went well that should install and configure all the dependencies the client requires for Ubuntu. I just tried it here myself using apt-get and it updated and installed the dependencies so I don't expect any problems for you. If you have any more problems just ask.
