I just did an upgrade of my debian unstable system; it was upgrading libspeechd, speech-dispatcher and speech-dispatcher festival (may have been others in this group). At first dpkg returned an error code of 1 on speech-dispatcher and if I'd been smart I'd have left well enough alone. but I stopped speech dispatcher and tried again. This time it seemed to install, but when I tried to run it I got an error on starting speechd_up about shared objects related to libspeechd.so.1. so i tried recompiling speechd_up; btw, I searched and sure enough I had no lib.speechd.so.1. when I tried reinstalling speechd_up, which I had a pretty good idea wasn't going to work, I got the following error in make: checking for spd_open in -lspeechd... no *** Required speechd library missing! See INSTALL . can probably downgrade, and of course this is what one should expect when running unstable, but thought I'd post this and save others some grief. -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
