Hi Jeff, Have you tried doing `make clean` and then `make emacspeak` on the latest git version? Also, David just submitted a patch to make the Mac speech server work on MacOS 12.3+, so do a `git pull` before running make, too. Let me know how it goes.

I still cannot figure out how to install the Foundation module in the environment that the ./servers/mac script is trying to run in. I thought of just using a different TTS server, so I tried to make ESPEAK, and that failed too. Below is the output, but it looks like it cannot find a C++ header file. That seems odd.

It looks very much like you're still inside a miniconda environment (note the pathnames) while the library you want is probably part of a system package that the various versions of conda won't see. Note in that long list of library directories it's searching includes lots of miniconda3 plus /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib, not any of the standard python directories. That suggests two options: 1) try to install the missing package via miniconda 2) keep miniconda out of the picture entirely I'd *strongly* recommend #2, I find the conda edifice too shaky for something as critical as emacspeak Irrelevant aside: I didn't know anyone still wrote Objective-C, makes me nostalgic for my beloved Next machine of 1992 cheers Peter Jeff Dittel via Emacspeak writes: >I just did the Xcode-select —install, and it was already installed. > >I just went into IPYTHON and did a import Foundation, and am getting the error below.

Here is what I did: • On a bare machine, with no other python3 stuff installed, I ran `brew install python3` • Then I ran `pip3 install pyobjc` • Then running the mac speech server from shell worked without an issue I would say hunt down all instances of python3 you have, remove all of them, and let only one of them stay on your system. That way you'll avoid a whole lot of issues, including missing libraries. Hope this helps. On Mon, Apr 18, 2022 at 11:54 PM Victor Tsaran via Emacspeak <emacspeak(a)emacspeak.org&gt; wrote: Hi. I was just about to write the same, i.e. it does look like you are inside a Miniconda or Anaconda environment, a "base" one. This might mean that you have two installations of Python, so your pyobjc-foundation-cocoa module got installed into a different Python than the default one, called by the Mac server. Have you by any chance installed Python via Homebrew in addition to Miniconda? If yes, uninstall the former and try again.

Hey guys, I asked a question that I don’t think I got an answer. I sent the below traceback before, but it indicates that the Mac PyObjC is trying to use a wrong version of the Foundation module. Since it looks like a Mac TTS server error, can I just use a non-Mac TTS server?

Hi Jeff, Yes, this did see the foundation module. The reason I think running it with the `python3` command works is that the shebang at the top of the `mac` file points to `/usr/local/bin` directory, whereas your python3 executable is probably at a different place (you can try `which python3` to see where it is). Awesome, so this is a great step forward, we finally know how to get the speech server run by the right Python! Whoo hoo! The next steps would be: 1. I wonder if the issue you're facing is what Victor was talking about earlier in this thread: "Depending on which Python3 installation you are using, you might need to install a pyobjc-framework-cocoa package which includes a wrapper for the Foundation framework needed by the Mac speech server." Try running `pip3 install pyobjc-framework-cocoa` to install that 2. Run the speech server again using `python3` as opposed to directly with the shell. What happens now? We're soooooo close! Hope this is the last step to make this work! If so, we'll get to the final step of how to make Emacspeak actually run the mac speech server in the right environment, which I personally don't have much experience on.

Parham, I forgot to thank you for letting me know that you are running emacspeak on Monterey 12.3.1. At least I know that it can work. Also, thanks for letting me know that using a different TTS server is not a good option. I am looking forward to getting this working.

Does that help in any way? Thanks, Parham On Tue, Apr 19, 2022 at 11:11 PM Parham Doustdar <parham90(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: @Victor Tsaran you suggested using pyobjc-framework-cocoa. Is this as a replacement of pyobjc? As in, should Jeff remove the pyobjc module and then install pyobjc-framework-cocoa, or does that library provide a library that pyobjc needs? I'm asking because if you look at the traceback, it seems like the error is actually inside the pyobjc library itself. Sorry for the newbie questions, i know very little about how Python works.

The reason I think running it with the `python3` command works is that the shebang at the top of the `mac` file points to `/usr/local/bin` directory, whereas your python3 executable is probably at a different place (you can try `which python3` to see where it is). > Awesome, so this is a great step forward, we finally know how to get the speech server run by the right Python!

Victor, sorry I have to go, but I’ll try your alias thing tomorrow. Parham, What fixed it? I installed PyObjC and got ModuleNotFoundError for Foundation when running ./servers/mac. So, what did I do, I installed the Foundation module right over the one that was already installed by installing PyObjC. What I needed to do is after installing PyObjC, I needed to run python3 ./servers/mac. that way the virtual environment python3 was being used rather than the one pointed to at the top of the mac script. emacspeak still does not run when running emacs, but I will try Victor’s idea tomorrow. Thanks you guys. I can feel it. I am getting closer.

The reason I think running it with the `python3` command works is that the shebang at the top of the `mac` file points to `/usr/local/bin` directory, whereas your python3 executable is probably at a different place (you can try `which python3` to see where it is). > >>> Awesome, so this is a great step forward, we finally know how to get the speech server run by the right Python!

Hey everybody, After placing the correct path to the working python3 in the shebang of the mac server, it is finally working in emacs!! Long haul but got there. Thanks so much for everybody’s help.

Hopefully the virtual environment works, but if it doesn't another thing you could try is to use the /usr/bin/python3 like you did yesterday, but also, when you install PyObjC, explicitly use `/usr/bin/pip3 install pyobjc` rather than just `pip3 install pyobjc`. > I just tried that on another machine, and explicitly using `/usr/bin/python3` and `/usr/bin/pip3` seems to be the safest way to make sure that the environments you're using stay the same, and things like homebrew installations and virtual environments don't get in the way. > Then, you can easily create a symbolic link from `/usr/local/bin/python3` (which is the shebang of the mac speech server) to your `/usr/bin/python3`, and the mac speech server should just run. > Whatever you do, make sure that when you're doing `./servers/mac` from your zsh, you hear the "Emacspeak speech server" message.

So, what did I do, I installed the Foundation module right over the one that was already installed by installing PyObjC. What I needed to do is after installing PyObjC, I needed to run python3 ./servers/mac. that way the virtual environment python3 was being used rather than the one pointed to at the top of the mac script. emacspeak still does not run when running emacs, but I will try Victor’s idea tomorrow. > > Thanks you guys.

The reason I think running it with the `python3` command works is that the shebang at the top of the `mac` file points to `/usr/local/bin` directory, whereas your python3 executable is probably at a different place (you can try `which python3` to see where it is). > > >>> Awesome, so this is a great step forward, we finally know how to get the speech server run by the right Python!
