I understand that, and the second patch I sent you did that.  Did you
get that patch?  It updated the tcl script so that it first looked where
it currently looks then it looked in /usr/lib/emacspeak only if that
failed.  I'm attaching the second patch I sent again for reference.

If the second patch I sent you were applied, the only thing that I
would suggest to be done differently is have a way to pass a path
to the tcl script, so that "/usr/lib/emacspeak" is not hard coded as the
second option, but there is some way to set it, preferably at build time.

What do you think?
