Can you please show us brltty's logs so that we can see what's not working. 
The best way to collect brltty's logs is to add these options:

   -ldebug -e 2>/path/to/brltty.log

>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib

If Speech Dispatcher is in /usr then you don't need to do that as /lib and 
/usr/lib are always in the library search path.

>/home/manuel/installations/brltty-3.9/SpeechDrivers/SpeechDispatcher/./speech.c:157: 
>undefined reference to `logf'

That's due to a missing -lm link option. Speech Dispatcher used to pick up libm 
(the math functions library) but no longer does so brltty either needs to add 
-lm or stop using logf(). I'll look into this.
