Although you change the library to link in the local Makefile, the cmu_us_kal still gets there in a $(LIBS) variable from the global configure.in. If you change it also in speechd/configure.in to link cmu_us_kal16 instead of cmu_us_kal, do a make distclean and then compile everything from scratch (./build.sh, ./configure, make, make install), you should get the better voice. Still, this is only an ugly solution. I'll try to somehow make it switch voices at runtime in the future, although Flite is absolutely not designed for such things. As for now, I guess I'll only add a compile-time option to the ./configure script for the 0.4 release which should be available by the end of this month. With Regards, Hynek
