hi Luke and list,
The eci.h needs to be in /usr/include.
The libs should be symlinked to /usr/lib/libetidev.so
and
/usr/lib/libibmeci.so
And you need also the old libstdc++ in /usr/lib
After these steps are complete, speechd can detect the ibmtts.

Hi all,
I have installed the 0.6.6.0 package through apt-get. I read somewhere that
