Diff solution for me.

The patch maybe applied from garnome top directory.

Reassigning to gnome-speech.

I'm comfused.  The org/GNOME/Bonobo package is not part of GNOME speech. 
Instead, I believe it is part of the java-access-bridge.  So...perhaps instead
of stuffing things in the Makefile.am as suggested, perhaps a dependency on
java-access-bridge should be placed in ./configure.in if the freetts driver is
to be built?

I'm still confused, however, about what the overall problem is and what the
end-user goal is (make paranoid-install is new to me).

Willie:

gnome-speech does use bonobo, even without the freetts driver.  Look at the
gnome-speech IDL and note that everything is derived from Bonobo::Unknown...

Hi Bill:

I realize this.  The thing that is confusing to me is the patch,
but perhaps it is because I do not understand the gnome-speech
architecture wrt Java or how the Java files are generated from 
IDL.

I thought what was going on here was that gnome-speech was going
to pick up the org.GNOME.Bonobo.* class files from the Java access
bridge's gnome-java-bridge.jar file.  Is it the case that the idlj
compiler (as called by the gnome-speech build) is going to 
automatically generate the classes for the org.GNOME.Bonobo 
package?  If so, I don't understand the gnome-speech dependency
on the Java access bridge.

gotcha.  Sorry, Will, I hadn't read the patch.  I agree with you, and the patch
looks potentially toxic to me, since in many environments it seems unnecessary
and therefore would result in the org/GNOME/Bonobo classes getting included
twice.  The org/GNOME/Bonobo classes, since they are in the java-access-bridge,
need to be installed in the lib/ext directory of the JRE, and as such they will
already be part of the user's java environment.... as far as I can see.

Unsetting the QA Contact. The GARNOME list isn't the correct one IMHO, as this
is not a GARNOEM specific issue. Please feel free to adjust this.

Willie: 'make paranoid-install' is a GARNOMEism. ;) It simply means kind of
"build everything, stop at any error and don't try to go on". You can ignore
this, as it just configures/builds/installs as far as the package itself is
concerned.

I suspect that the problem here is that the build was taking place without the
java-access-bridge having been installed (properly?) on the build machine.

I recently did a "make paranoid-install" of garnome-2.15.90 on my Ubuntu 6.06 box without issue. I think this problem has gone away.  Closing.
