Any experience w/ Debian Woody Speakup Packages?

[Hugh Esco]

I did the strace.  The results, which I haven't a clue how to interpret are 
appended below.    I did read enough of the man page, though, to recognize 
the "-1" return codes as errors.

Here is what an ls command has to say about those missing files and devices:
>hesco at biko:/usr/src/speakup-1.5/middleware$ ls -l /etc/ld.so*
>-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        37425 Jul  5 01:43 /etc/ld.so.cache
>-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           15 Dec  6  2002 /etc/ld.so.conf
>hesco at biko:/usr/src/speakup-1.5/middleware$ ls -l /dev/usrdev
>crw-r--r--    1 root     root     252,   0 Jul 19 22:54 /dev/usrdev
>hesco at biko:/usr/src/speakup-1.5/middleware$

Where does /etc/ld.so.preload come from?  Is there some additional package 
I need to install to make that work?  Having installed festival and its 
voices with dpkg -i, instead of apt-get install, and the speakup and 
middleware from source, instead of debian packages, it is completely 
possible that I have missed some urgently needed dependency here.
