Flite Still Using 8 Bit Voice?

[Garrett Klein]

Hello,

	All I know is that moving libflite_cmu_us_kal.* libraries to a 
directory out of ld's path, renaming the libflite_cmu_us_kal16.* 
libraries to libflite_cmu_us_kal.*, and fixing the symlinks fixed my 
problems. Thanks, Jacob, for the solution.

	The nice thing about this solution is that Speech-dispatcher 
doesn't need to be recompiled. BTW, the symlinks in question were 
libflite_us_kal16.so, and libflite_cmu_us_kal16.so.1, which both both 
pointed to libflite_cmu_us_kal16.so.1.2. When these two symlinks were 
renamed to libflite_cmu_us_kal.so and libflite_cmu_us_kal.so.1, they 
still pointed to libflite_cmu_us_kal16.so.1.2, which didn't exist 
anymore. So I just had to relink those two files and presto... new and 
improved Flite.

HTH,
Garrett.
