Hello all;

I've been a Gentoo user for awhile, and installed  a knew VM, using the
latest available kernel, 3.1.1.

When speakup attempts to install I get

* ERROR: app-accessibility/speakup-3.1.6_p201011120508 failed (setup phase):

Great, ok, so I further look into it, looks like it wants kernel 2.6.36.

This is no longer available, attempt to compile anything less then 2.6.36
I'm told it requires 2.6.36 kernel.

Also, speakup hasn't been updated since around this time last year.

So, thoughts, ideas, suggestions for getting this fixed?

Thanks for any assistance.

Shane

This is because speakup is in the staging drivers in the kernel source
for newer kernels.

You should run make menuconfig, then go to device drivers, staging
drivers, then you will find speakup there.

Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Thanks,

William

Hello;
So it's gonna require a recompile of the kernel. This is gonna be fun.
I'll send Gentoo-user a message noting the resolution of the matter.
Thanks for the help.
