[BRLTTY] Using the espeak speech driver

[Dave Mielke]

>But after compiling BRLTTY 4.2, I can read in syslog:
>Aug  7 18:36:22 crustulus brltty[6212]: speech driver not loadable: es

>Why can't I load this module?

That's because:

>I also tried to build the module into the executable, but configure says:
>configure: error: unknown speech driver: es

So the "es" driver can't be loaded at run-time because brltty didn't include it 
at build-time.

If configuring brltty doesn't recognize "es" as a speech driver, it's because 
it's not finding eSpeak on your system. Assuming you actually do have eSpeak 
installed, then it's either because it's in an unexpected place or because your 
system is missing the eSpeak development environment.

Where, on your system, has eSpeak itself been installed?

Can you check to see where, on your system, the speak_lib.h header is.
