Hey there Michael, and thanks for the quick reply. What is the easiest way to install the newest espeak under ubuntu 7.04? Do I just download the zip file from sourceforge and compile the source? Do I need libportaudio or anything like that? I have disabled every module except for the two that I'm trying to get working. The modules I'm using are espeak (not espeak-generic), and ibmtts. Again, thanks in advance for the help.
