Hello Christian,

SD 0.6.6 is in Sid.  Lenny has 0.6.5, but I believe 0.6.6 should get
there soon.  You may try asking at speechd lists freebsoft org for more
details.

Anyway, if you install 0.6.5 from Lenny, you get the init script which
starts SD at boot.  Since you have 0.6.6 in /usr/local, I believe it
should work well with the init script from the package (0.6.6 will get
launched instead of 0.6.5).

The package will also create the speech-dispatcher user, so I'd
recommend configuring SD to run under that user (in
/usr/local/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf).  The location of the
configuration file is ok for the compiled version.  /etc is used by the
packaged version.

I don't understand your TTSynth problem.  Could you elaborate more?  It
would be more appropriate to solve this on the SD mailing list
(http://lists.freebsoft.org/mailman/listinfo/speechd).


Best regards

Tomas
