Problem while getting Speech dispatcher working.

Hello again,

When I run speech-dispatcher -d I get the following output.  Any
suggestions?

One of my problems here are that I'm using Putty from a windows box to ssh
into my linux machine as I don't have any screen reader available there at
the moment so I cant really go through the conf file with any degree of
certainty that I'm on the right line.  Perhaps someone could send their
speech.conf and festival.conf file for speech dispatcher to me?  My address
is lists at digitaldarragh.com

I'm sorry.  I know this is probably easy enough to fix but the lack of a
screen reader on my laptop is really causing me problems.  I'm driving my
girl friend nuts by asking her to read the screen when something happens I
cant look at using putty.  

Here is the output from speech-dispatcher -d
