Hey there Willem, thanks for the response. Before I tried to compile Espeak, I did try to run the binary version. I got an error message that said "unable to open shared library libportaudio.so.0." I have both places where shared libraries are stored in my system listed in ld.so.conf. I then did a yum install portaudio* and a package named something like portaudio-18.18.fc6.rpm was installed. libportaudio.so was found when I did "whereis libportaudio*", but no .so.0. I'm thoroughly confused. Today, I compiled portaudio from source, and still don't see libportaudio.so.0. Help!!! Again, thanks in advance for all the help.
