Espeaks Software Synth

Hello,

I have gotten the synthesizer to work; however, I am having problems
getting Speech-Dispatcher to find it.  I put the file that Lorenzo sent
me in /usr/local/etc/speech-dispatcher/modules as speak.conf (I am using
a packaged Speech-Dispatcher).  I then edited speechd.conf and added a
line like
AddModule "speak" "sd_speak" "speak.conf"
"/var/log/speech-dispatcher/speak.log"
Then I have a line like
DefaultModule speak
and then
LanguageDefaultModule "en"  "speak"

When I killall speech-dispatcher then run it again, it does not seem to
recognise the existence of this synth.  When I do spd-say -o speak
"hello" it speaks with Flite!  Also, it does not create a logfile for
speak such as I have set in that addmodule line above.  Any ideas?

I probably can help with the compilation of portaudio as I have now managed on my desktop using slackware (I guess Robby is using slackware as slapt-get was mentioned). The solution, go to www.portaudio.com and download portaudio_v18.zip. unzip it somewhere (I did it in /usr/src/). Change to the portaudio directory (cd /usr/src/portaudio_v18/), and make a Makefile link to the Makefile.linux (ln ./Makefile.linux ./Makefile). Now just run "make" and "make libinstall". You now need to create the link for the lib (ln /usr/local/lib/libportaudio.so /usr/lib/libportaudio.so.0) assuming you didn't change the installation directory. Now espeak should run.
