Hi. I got it working yesterday. Don't ask me how I did, I just installed virtualbox, and qemu, and that installed some libraries that made speechd-up to work. I installed a .deb package that I had found. I don't know what was wroing, here is a speechd-up log from yesterday, with errors, Ok, there are softsynth errors here, but I didn't have any other modules loaded at the time. [Mon Jun 14 00:06:27 2010] speechd: Speechd-speakup starts! [Mon Jun 14 00:06:27 2010] speechd: Error while openning the device in read/write mode 2,No such file or directory [Mon Jun 14 00:06:27 2010] speechd: Trying to open the device in the old way.
