Re: New to Emacspeak and Emacs

["Zachary Kline" <klinez@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
   I'd also recommend checking EMACSPEAK_DIR/servers/linux-espeak.  If 
there's not a file in there named tclespeak.so, you wouldn't get any speech 
from Espeak's speech server.
   In my experience, distribution packagers don't compile this for you in 
some cases.  You just need to go in there and run either "make" or "make -f 
makefile.tcl83" as appropriate.  There may be a line in the .c file which 
throws an error: I believe it's 598?  Change "char" on that line to "const 
char", using Vi or some other editor and rerun the make command if needed.
   After that, you don't need to do anything with the tclespeak.so file. 
Just leave it where it lies and try the espeak server again.
Hope this helps,
Zack.
