Hi Cheryl. The problem is the symlink in /usr/lib didn't get made properly. You can make it with ln something like this: ln -s libspeechd1.1 libspeechd.so.1 or what ever the .so name is that speechd-up is complaining about. I had to do this the other day when doing a brand new Debian install. Gene >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >Hash: SHA1 > >I should point out that library problem has been fixed lately.
