I'm trying to use speakup with espeakup. Espeakup says: "Unable to open the soft synth device: no such file or directory". I thought I'd installed speakup, but typing it gives "command not found". I just downloaded a speakup tarball (that took some digging). Running the makefile produces two errors that I don't understand. What is speachd-up? Do I need it in addition to speakup and espeakup?
