Espeaks Software Synth

[Willem van der Walt]

I think, without having checked, that the sd-speak should be sd-generic.
You are actually using the generic module of speech-dispatcher here.

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.
