Re: "process speaker not running"

["Lui Greco" <lui@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had the same problem when installing my accent server.  In fact, it still
isn't working right.

Anyway, one of the errors I encountered was that the documentation said to
set 2 environment variables.  With the help of a sighted friend who was
really knowledgeable with Linux determined that without specifying the
complete path for the synthesiser it would work.

Not sure if this will work as it's a different voice box ...
good luck.
