Did you ever download a package from aur before? If not you can get and set up yaourt on archlinux but some edits have to be done to /etc/pacman.conf and then you need to run two pacman commands to first update your repositories and then install yaourt. I do it like this: edit /etc/pacman.conf as root and add these lines: [archlinuxfr] SigLevel = Never Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch Save the file and exit. Next run: pacman -Sy yaourt <cr> You may install optional dependencies after that. Then run: yaourt -Syua <enter> Finally run: yaourt -Ss espeakup|less <enter> and you shall hear. To check this, run: Yaourt -S espeak-ng <enter> If you're told espeak and espeak-ng conflict you have espeak on your machine and will be offered the opportunity to remove it if you like. The arch-general list most certainly is not the blinux-list. Hope this helps. That -syua command updates everything on the aur repository in addition to all other repositories you have installed.

Are you serious? yaourt -Ss espeak
espeak is on the official repositories, at community. So you can use pacman to install it. Hi, How do I know if I am running espeak ng? Espeak is already being used. I jst wondered If this is the case then I should be able to do sudo pacman -S espeak. I will have to rtake a look next time I boot up my arch system. I want to use espeak ng, Sonar already uses this. Thanks.
