emacspeak 6.0 installation

1) The steps you need to take are
a) unpack the distribution to create directory emacspeak-6.0 and its contents
b) type make config
c) type make
This builds everything.
The warnings about cl-gethash can be ignored.
Your message below is confusing.
Clearly the driver ran correctly both from the shell, and when emacspeak
started
--otherwise you would not hear messages of the form "loading ...".
My only guess is that you installed emacspeak correctly and then started up
some partially installed version.
And no-- the problem you report has *nothing*
to do with the solaris patch I sent you many months ago--
that patch is part of the driver and fully tested-- and if it weren't working
you would not have gotten this far anyway.
So:
1) Start with a clean state.
2) Do the configure and make steps described above
3) Start up by first changing to the directory where you compiled and typing
emacs -q -l emacspeak-setup.el
You should do a make install *only*
after you confirm that everything works.
This is true of emacspeak and anything else you build on unix.
I would definitely not recommend blindly typing make install --this only
scatters files all around the system and you will not know what is getting
used.
