question about speakup and speechd-up

[Bill Cox]

Voxin can be used in 64-bit land but it's a bit harder.  I'm using
voxin right now in 64-bit Ubuntu Karmic.  Basically, you have to
compile speech-dispatcher on a 32-bit machine that already has voxin
installed.  That creates the 32-bit binaries, which are
/usr/lib/speech-dispatcher-modules/sd_ibmtts, and
/usr/lib/libsd-audio.so.2.02.  You have to copy these to the correct
directories on your 64-bit machine, which is the same directory for
sd_lib, but the /usr/lib32 directory for libsd-audio.  You also have
to make a symlink from libsd-audio.so and libsd-audio.so.2 to
libsd-audio.so.2.0.2.
