I'm willing to write basic install instructions so that there isn't any more confusion like this if knowone else wants to, heh > There is a binary called say which gets created in the current directory after you type make. Just copy that to somewhere in your path. If you're going to use tuxtalk with speakup you will need to make the softsynth device: mknod /dev/softsynth c 10 26 Then you'll just load the speakup_sftsyn module and starrt tuxtalk with: say -d You'll lose the console that you start tuxtalk on as tuxtalk will not go into the backgroup and if you try say -d & it doesn't work as expected. Also once the module is loaded be careful unloading it it locked my box up solid yesterday.
