Hi, I hit a snag when issuing "make install" with the latest espeakup, but solved it simply enough. The error message suggested that the install program was not found. The Makefile refers to it as: $(INSTALL), so on a hunch, I added this to my /etc/profile: export INSTALL=install After restarting my root session, the espeakup make install worked normally. I am on a Debian Lenny system here, not sure I've ever needed that environment variable before.
