Re: [gentoo-accessibility] Speakup Issue

[Hunter Jozwiak]

I've gotten the needed modules enabled, and now I can install it as
per normal without that e6ror. I've added it to the default runlevel,
emerged Espeak with pulseaudio and portaudio, set the default voice,
rebooted after unmounting ... and, no speech. I can get espeak to
talk, by typing espeak test, but espeakup isn't talking. Is there
another step to t3e solution?
