warning to debian unstable users of speech-dispatcher: upgrade at your own risk

Cheryl,

The solution might be close at hand. In Slackware I had to
install speech-dispatcher from sources, configure, make, make
install. The make install step failed to copy libspeech.o and
libspeech.h from their locations inside the speech-dispatcher
home directory to where they could be seen by other packages.
Perhaps that problem has propagated to the debian precompiled
package.

In the source archive, those files can be found under ./src/c/api
and I needed to copy them to /usr/local/bin and
/usr/local/include in order to get speechd-up to compile.
