Speakup with Espeak-NG

[Didier Spaier]

looking at the package content here:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/espeak-ng/

You could miss symlinks to make espeakup happy, as it needs
libespeak.so.1 that is not listed.

Try this as root:
cd /usr/lib
ln -sf libespeak-ng.so.1 libespeak.so.1
ln -sf libespeak-ng.so.1 libespeak.so

Caveat: I can't try, not running Arch Linux.

But if that works, request the package maintainer to add that.

Best,
Didier
