Hi, that is error is harmless, the daemon should still start. check by running ps -e | grep speech-dispatcher, you should see a speech-dispatcher process running. If it is running you can test that it is infact usable by telneting to port 6560 on localhost. There will we a opentts releease very soon, but currently you have to get opentts with from git://git.opentts.org/opentts.git. HTH Trev
