Chuck, I would suggest, rather than moving the shared libary, update the load library path, since moving the library caused this strange phenomenon. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html It seems like JACK created a shared memory device, perhaps due to the movement of the shared library? Would have to look at source to understand why it did that, but try just updating the path that the loader looks at to find its libraries instead ... -- Doug - ---- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Hallenbeck" <chuckh@xxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2007 2:24 PM Subject: shared library for espeak > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi people, > > I have removed my Debian packages for espeak and speech-dispatcher, and > installed the more current espeak 1.28 from sources, and > speech-dispatcher 6.3 from a cvs tarball.
