Hello, All I know is that moving libflite_cmu_us_kal.* libraries to a directory out of ld's path, renaming the libflite_cmu_us_kal16.* libraries to libflite_cmu_us_kal.*, and fixing the symlinks fixed my problems. Thanks, Jacob, for the solution. The nice thing about this solution is that Speech-dispatcher doesn't need to be recompiled. BTW, the symlinks in question were libflite_us_kal16.so, and libflite_cmu_us_kal16.so.1, which both both pointed to libflite_cmu_us_kal16.so.1.2. When these two symlinks were renamed to libflite_cmu_us_kal.so and libflite_cmu_us_kal.so.1, they still pointed to libflite_cmu_us_kal16.so.1.2, which didn't exist anymore. So I just had to relink those two files and presto... new and improved Flite. HTH, Garrett.
