sounds like more trouble then it is worth
how is a beginner to linux supposed to understand all of this tech jargon.
not trying to upset any one but am curious.

What a mess!
I had to do a whole lot of things way outside documentation to get
this application running.
First, since outloud kept on insisting on compiling I did major
surgery on the emacspeak/servers directory and erased anything that
wasn't linux-espeak. I think emacspeak was getting confused in that
directory.
After make config and make emacspeak and copying the directory and all
subdirectories that had emacspeak-setup.el to
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp and adding an (add-list "load-path
statement above emacspeak-setup.el line as suggested in the info page,
I had to start emacs which complained it couldn't find
emacspeak-setup.el after being loaded and then I did a load-library
<ret> emacspeak-setup.el <ret> and heard emacspeak finally do
something close to its normal startup including the organ music.
Now I'm going to have to investigate to find out why the
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/lisp/lisp/ path wasn't liked by emacs.
I think the Make file in the emacspeak directory inadvertently had its
exit statements stripped out if exit is even a valid Makefile command
because the stanza just below emacspeak: was you guessed it outloud:.
My reading of Makefile code isn't all that professional but all I
found was a blank line between the end of the emacspeak stanza and the
outloud: stanza and unless that's a valid form of exit it's entirely
understandable why outloud kept building even though viavoice wasn't
on the machine at the time. Let's not even talk about searching for
existing server software before building anything, that will add too
much complexity to the Makefile most likely.
Now I'm going to go study Makefile syntax and see if I can learn
enough to figure out some valid fixes for this one.
