Hi Chris: I recomend you recompile and also check to make sure your /dev/audio works as you suspect it does. Speak freely uses the audio device which is ulaw encoded and as Vick pointed out I couldn't get the oss drivers working with his. You might also want to get the alsa drivers and utilities. They work much nicer than the standard oss stuff does. Even if the oss drivers don't work though, you shouldn't be getting segfaults. The speak freely stuff pretty much compiles right out of the box so you shouldn't have to make any changes to the Makefile either.
