Troubleshooting : First of all try to test pico is working or not
using following command

pico2wave -l en-GB -w info.wav "hello how are you " && paplay info.wav

maybe you have to install pulseaudio-utils for paplay.

BTW if you want use espeak do the following commands and compile
again. Beware orca may become silent if you are using espeak as
default for orca.

sudo apt-get install espeak
cd xboard
git checkout dae52d215b88feb4f23fb7dd1abd3b74cf46627d
make
sudo make install
