Re: Newbie, Emacspeak and Espeak

[Liz Hare <doggene@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Alex, and all,

Thanks. After making sure these are installed and tcl.h is in 
/usr/include/tcl8.4/tcl.h,  I still get the error about not being able 
to find tcl.h when running make.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions you guys might have.

Liz
