speech-dispatcher beta 1, no speech

[Guy Schlosser]

Hey there Michael, and thanks for the quick reply.  What is the 
easiest way to install the newest espeak under ubuntu 7.04?  Do I 
just download the zip file from sourceforge and compile the 
source?  Do I need libportaudio or anything like that?  I have 
disabled every module except for the two that I'm trying to get 
working.  The modules I'm using are espeak (not espeak-generic), and 
ibmtts.  Again, thanks in advance for the help.
