CORRECTION..
The libportaudio library was not from the Mandrake repository.. Duh..
That "mdk" is probably the initials of the compiler to a Slack tgz file.
Sorry if this caused any confusion.. :^(..

For what it's worth: Slackware 13.0 can be installed with a
speakup.s kernel, that worked for me but I didn't document what I did.
:^(...
However; I tried again with a fresh install of the huge.s
kernel that I couldn't get working so I tried again with the
huge-smp-2.6.29.6-smp kernel, and was able to test invoking espeak or
speak and typing text /or/ importing a text file and that worked..
My notes say I had to do this: (I used the JFS file system for
the test.) Installed/compiled the following:
libportaudio0-18.1-4mdk.i586.tgz from the Mandrake repository.
Required by PortAudio..
pa_stable_v19_20071207.tar.gz
speakup-3.1.5.tar.bz2
espeakup-0.71.tar.bz2
speech-dispatcher-0.7.tar.gz Haven't tried this yet..
The above on an i810, P III machine.. This message typed on a
different machine..
