This page refers to some additional requirements for enabling FreePBX texttospeech module to work on Centos 6. The texttospeech module was an add-on module that has now been replaced by two modules released by Sangoma: tts and ttsengines. Therefore this Howto is being placed in the "Previous Howto" section for historical reference, but probably will no longer be useful.

For google translate

You need to install esound-libs: 

yum install esound-libs

The module relies on the mpg123 software which due to patent issues is not available in standard repositories. If you have understood the implications and requirements of the patent issues, the software may be used as follows: 

cd /to/some/directory (e.g. cd /usr/local/src)
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mpg123/mpg123/1.23.4/mpg123-1.23.4.tar.bz2
tar -xvzf mpg123-1.23.4.tar.bz2

You also need the folling perl modules
