Problem on install reciteword. error on load shared libraries.

Why chmod the file? It will be in your home folder so will have sufficient rights. Also why mark the rpm as executable? What does this achieve exactly?

Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

well , I don't really now why have to chmod the file or mark rpm as executable. As I think it may because of that ubuntu can't use rpm package . So I install alien to transform the rpm package to deb package.

and as you say the output is blow:

daipeng@daipeng:~/Desktop/INSTALL$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
daipeng@daipeng:~/Desktop/INSTALL$ uname -a
Linux daipeng 3.2.0-26-generic-pae #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 14 16:45:14 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

Try:

sudo apt-get install libaudiofile-dev

Then retry

sorry, this does not help. and the libaudiofile-dev had already been installed before.
so when I run :
sudo apt-get install libaudiofile-dev.
it just do nothing.

Have you tried installing the version for Ubuntu from http://code.google.com/p/reciteword-espeak/

as the adivise above , I remove the old Install .and remove the package .
then do as the method above, and I can success run ./configure . But the make can't pass.
the error message is like below:

Sorry if I was not clear enough.
I wanted to recommend installing the two *.deb packages that are shown below
the heading Ubuntu at the end of that page.

really thanks for your patience.
when I remoev the old install , and try to install the *.deb packages. It successed. but when I run reciteword on the terminal.
it just gives the error as before:

reciteword: error while loading shared libraries: libaudiofile.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

as I think , the reason may be lost of some libraries. So if you have success install this. can you run
sudo find / -name libaudiofile.so ;
env ;
and give the output ,so I can try to fix this error.

yes , this is the really answer !!

and it works now!

Thanks for all really much!!

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.
